The project Pyramids is a continuation of the project Interventions, where I try to fit an artificial object into the natural environment. The pyramid has many meanings. The pyramid is a symbol of the hierarchy that exists in the universe. In any field, the symbol of the pyramid can help to move from the lower level of plurality and fragmentation to the higher level of unity. It can also stand for the highest achievement of something, a symbol of strength, creation, etc. The Egyptians built pyramids of incredible scale and size and gave them their own meaning. For me, the shape of the tetrahedron is a reliable construction that testifies to human presence and the desire to conquer territory. Everything starts at the base and systematically tries to reach the top. The pyramid as an artificial object, but at the same time its shape resembles the natural form of an ideal mountain peak.
