At first glance it is a ruin, and those who say ruin mean abandonment, degradation, ruin. This is not a place devoted to Beauty, far from it, but such a dilapidated building is surrounded by lush vegetation. The rebellious sap dominates the space, favoring with its cycle life a metamorphosis of the places. The attentive eye can notice a careful engraving work, made even more enjoyable by "luminous vibration" due to an interplay of small light and dark spots. This ruinous place interpellates us: it appears to us as the metaphor of the passing Time, which dies and returns to life.
