WHEN: 2023
COLLAB: Agata Paola Leuce
SIZE: Approx. 200–400 cm
MATERIAL: Untreated wood

Orientation through vertical structure

Axis Mundi is based on a single vertical wooden structure that establishes a point of orientation in space.

The work reduces architecture to its most essential gesture: a line connecting ground and elevation. The material remains untreated, preserving its natural characteristics.

It defines direction rather than enclosure.
