The arch is neither a shelter nor a monument. It becomes a living threshold where nature, memory, and humanity meet. Around it, fragments emerge from a dark volcanic terrain, suggesting that even what appears broken continues to hold the possibility of becoming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe work reflects on transformation rather than loss. Every coral, every shell, every textured surface once belonged to another living world.
