THE ECHO AND THE CIRCLE OF TIME
House in Furnas Lake - St. Michael Island, Azores 2018 -

A house overlooking Lake Furnas inside a volcano rim will always evoque the complacency of dreams, nature, the subconscious and the overtly sublime. 
That composes an 'Echology', a self feeding circle of voices, refractions of nature within human attributes. the mind, the body, memory.
One talks with oneself, from the past and from the future, when facing the lake reflecting the night skies and stars, or the daily cloud procession and the chiaro-scuro apparatus of light lucernarium in between cloud formations and showers of rain. 
A house as an Echo machine-organ, a 'Memoriometer'. A radar and an acoustic shell of history, dreams and wishes (the inner shiver, the outer joy).
