In its rush towards the sky, the tower appears a tribute to verticality. The stone architecture is solid and without ornaments. Its supporting columns are anchored deep into the ground. Yet this monument that emanates power « exhales » light sheets of paper ( the author likes to think of a delirium of decrees, ordinances or laws promulgated in the tower of justice). Engraving without moral conclusions, for the playful balance between paper and stone. Some copies are still available.
