Sculptural, geological, and architectural pieces. The opacity and hardness of the stone compared to the transparency and apparent fragility of glass. The enduring character of Montjuic stone merges harmoniously with modernism, new technologies, and the cult of the body. The organic nature of the material turns the space into a reflection of Barcelona's identity. This research is part of the Aesop Diagonal project.
