Different Natures

WELCOME TO THE DIFFERENT NATURES

“What happens to us is irrelevant to the world's geology, but what happens to the world's geology is not irrelevant to us. We must reconcile ourselves to the stones. Not the stones to us.” - Hugh MacDiarmid, excerpt from On a Raised Beach, 1934

Nature adapts and evolves, all in different ways, as do we. Different situations call for different modifications and transformations. Water shapes stone in the same way as water can become stone. Different Natures is a room that looks to immerse those who visit it in the e xperience of nature by observing big ice boulders, carved water shapes, to resemble the solid mass that holds the planet together, and that like the ice, it might one day melt away. In Different Natures we want to observe the origin, the contrast of shapes making our praise to the water stone, shaping it on its way back to its liquid state.
