The cement-ground is once again traversed by roots that try to resist in order to carry on propagating and generating life. The instinct for survival overcomes every impediment and the rhythm of systole and diastole, of light and dark, is released in the branches that cross like arms made precious by slender hands raised to the sky.

The cross, symbol of Christianity par excellence, is here represented as a live trunk, clear allusion to the tree of life and the salvation power of the cross itself. It rises majestically from the stone base, evidencing the intersection of the axes directed at the four cardinal points which in most of the world’s cultures allude to the function of the orientation of man in the dimensions of time and space.
