The upper gap (symbol for division) of this stone is closed with mirrors  The base of the stone is united. It tells us, that introspection (mirror symbol) shows us how divided objects might have a common base. A mirror on the north side gives the illusion of a hole in the stone.

In the beginning Balmung was Odin's sword (symbol for the rational use of the mind). To protect it from misuse he placed it inside the roots of an oak tree. But someone took it to make war. There it broke into pieces. Later Siegfried welded it together, to kill the dragon (symbol of wisdom). He took a bath in its blood to become invincible, but a leave fell between his shoulder blades leaving him vulnerable. And in fact, that was the weak point where he got killed.

This chalice carries 7 leaves to symbolize the 7 parts of every natural cycle. And on the cup one finds 7 planet symbols for 7 basic forces in human life:
Sun: active forces,  Moon: reflective thoughts,  Mercury: communication,  Venus: creativity,  Mars: physical strength,  Jupiter: expansively,  Saturn: making choices

For sure the oldest symbol for nurturing are breasts. To value the unconditioned life giving force of GAIA, these breasts are gold plated.

How can you eat a mountain? Wait until it starts eroding, producing soil; plant crop in it; eat it.

Art history demonstrates that the Egyptian Isis, the Chinese Quan Yin, the Japanese Kwannon, or the Madonna has been personified in the same way. Early Madonna statues have been original copies of Isis, lacking only the Uruboros snake around the head.

In the last century a new religion has been coming up: the religion of the tv-believers. Things that have not been presented on the screen are not supposed to exist. "Reality" instead is created through the presentation of movies.

Members of western societies have difficulties to imagine consciousness in entities without eyes. Here NATURE shaped limestone rock in form of an eye (marked with red color). The gaps have been closed with soil. Now it became a "living eye".

Work in Progress:
Installation of  a stainless steel barrel filled with water, mounted inside a rock gap; 3 Venus statues, 49 concrete frogs. Total area covered: 200 square meters.
