North

The place of the air

Air, wind
understanding, intellect, thinking, planing, clarity
responsibility, the inner adult
communication, philosophies & believe systems
animals, instinct, acting instinctively

The place of the north, a little higher, in which the element air is at home, is made of a pentagonal platform. The many rectangular plates of granite and marble nested into each other which build this surface, stand as a symbol for our encapsulated thinking, for its joy in getting lost into the uncountable boxes and cupboards of our believe systems. A way of thinking which soon triggers confusion instead of clarity.
On the contrary, the brilliant brass strips show the way to the centre, and symbolize the potential of intellect as a determined tool.

On the platform, there are 5 triangular sails disposed in an breezy way. They create a cool space through its shadow and create as well an impression of openness. They almost appear to be flying weightless.

The platonic shapes that are on the platform, can be felt understood through intellect, as well as through a meditative approach.
Meanwhile the sound string, through its sound, allows us to experience an access to infinity.
