The Madadá Grotto, located in the Anavilhanas archipelago, Rio Negro, Amazon, are formed by sandstone rocks that are millions of years old. This region has already been submerged in water, which in the process of abrasion, gave the matter the appearance of large pebbles.
These pebbles, placed one on top of the other, indicate routes that can be walked and reveal openings, interstice, for the entrance of light. In an environment of predominance of vegetation, the Madadá Grotto reveal the exuberant presence of the mineral in the middle of the Amazon rainforest.
The sculpture, made from two solid crystal volumes, recreates the feeling of those who live this experience.
