..."The Sand Agora is an introspective space for the infinite landscape located in the flat territory of the Pampa at the end of the world…. where the objectified territory is the star that becomes a spectator and actress.
It is a contemporary ruin, a large sand castle, where the protagonist is time. With the intention of blurring the boundaries between architecture and sculpture..... It begins as a solid object that is crumbling, slowly eroding as an ephemeral object in the infinite landscape. It is made of Pampa as a unique material... a portal, a threshold is created, which begins as a habitable object and then the wind along the water erodes it, deforms and de-sculpts it until it is once again on the horizon, made of Pampa..."
