*“the impression is of stepping into work of some surrealist painter; here you will encounter Max Ernst’s sharp-beaked bird, there the silent scream of the tormented soul by Edvard Munch. Further along, the imagination conjures an elephant with its trunk rooted to a rock, a bird frozen in flight, a snake revealing its threatening fangs, a skull with disturbing teeth, a wave at the point of breaking, the dwelling of a troglodyte. Elsewhere the rock becomes lace, spider webs and hieroglyphics; it becomes poetry and enchants with thousands of stories. These ‘sculptures’, created by the combined effect of wind, sand and chemical erosion, have magical character”.
