FOR A MOMENT, the finer dust of the raw

terrain grips onto the fingers that had grazed over its rough texture. Marks left on the surface of the chipped mass were fresh, brittle memories soon to be washed away traceless.

THE SURVEY CONTINUES, leaving a long trail of footprints and scratches along the way.

The fingers which have been grazing over the site have now gained a new layer of skin, made of earth, and it has become difficult for the wind to carry away the dust on those fingers which have been layered with dust from the entire field.

AN UNUSUAL BREEZE fills the stillness of the space. The source of this fresh air is a mystic - attractive for what is unknow but exactly limpid for its disruption to the esiting order. Within the booundary of consciousness, pure obsession becomes the driving power in response.

as the only mode of inhabitable reality, the existing dimension can only restore its order by applying counterweight to the force of obsession - theredemption through sacrifice, a balanced force in nature to surrender something for the sake of another - until the work of imbalance returns to the state of equilibrium.

A few boats have returned from a trip around the lake,

as golden light beams pierce through the aged oaks. right before the arrival of dusk, a priceless moment signifying the days end.

The playful children have well spent all of their energy, awaiting for their parents calling, yet no one seems ready to leave.

Gathered in the park are different groups of visitors unique in their own lives, yet all holding the same hope, awaiting for the final release of a guided stream of water, exiting beneath the suspended water filter caught between the tall pine trees.

It is now a quarter past noon, a lively ensemble begins to take place on a field of shortgrass, composed between the joyful chirping of birds and insects, as well as students arriving from the south gate of the park for their lunch break.

The silent conductor of this incredible symphony is a rammed-earth monument deeply anchored on the edge of water and land, yet rising 50 feet into the air to connect the blue sky above and clear water below, overseeing every instrument of sound within the park and far beyond its boundaries.
