- Sky to Earth · · · (Monument)
- Granite

6200 kg - Looking at the structures built by humans on the earth, I am often amazed by the power of science and civilization, but when I consider the phenomena that occur on a global scale (climatic events, subterranean movements, etc.) and the energy that drives them, I am keenly aware of humanity's powerlessness. Sometimes we forget the blessings of the earth, stand against it and head towards excessive development and destruction. I take the position that humans should work with nature so that when we take energy from nature, we return it. I think the same about "Sky to Earth · · · (Nonument)" in this place.
