Stretched across the façade, the engraving takes on a whole new dimension: every stroke of the burin becomes a visible line, and a miniature becomes architecture. This lithograph preserves the trace of the wave’s passage across the monument.
In the biblical story, the flood is both catastrophe and a new beginning. A library gathers fragments of the world to carry them beyond their time. By freezing the wave just before it breaks, JR invites us to pause and ask ourselves what we choose to preserve.
