Ziggurat. Budapeszt 2018

„Ziggurats, pyramids and stupas are ancient towers created in the image of the cosmic mountain. They stand at the center of the world as an expression of the universal desire to reunite with the heaven, as it was at the beginning of time. (…) Throughout life, when our soul feels impoverished by our striving to reach the top, we may once again have to learn to perform our task by humbly turning inward and look for a tower deep in the forest and patienly wait for new visions”. A. Ronnberg, K. Martin The Book of Symbols: Reflection on archetypal images (2010).
