Oasis, Eden, a promised land of happiness in the mass of succulent plants arranged in a smile. The earth and its fruits are the main architecture, the curtain from which man and his artefacts appear: the dammusi, architectures of hands and black rocks and earth dunes then calcified into supple roofs. Places guarding a world naturally distant from shared society, where space and light communicate in the intimate refuge of the cavee which are suspended in time.
