This landscape is perfectly sculpted by the simple heat of the sun. The rocks and earth represents a permanent, apathetic element, and in this scale of time and the depth of the landscape, the constant renewal of the livings is only a perpetual illusion. In this context, where nothing is immutable, the conditions give for every existing an extremely fragile notion.
