Inspired by the biblical story of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11), this sculpture reflects on the human ambition to reach the divine through architecture and collective power. In the narrative, God disrupts the project by fragmenting human language, scattering the builders across the earth. The work evokes this moment when unity collapses into misunderstanding.
