Small and slow is beautiful!
It was March 29th 2016 when we started drawing the first traces on the grass. Then it all seemed too big. And instead, little by little, Nature has begun to fill that flat space, weaving its infinite network of relationships and energy exchanges of which we are part. Follow the images of our little story, browsing through the galleries related to the different years, and see how the system is evolving.
