This aquarium required a lot of dedication over a period 14 months so that the mosses could develop with quality throughout its entire extension. Technically, the main factor was the chiller so that the temperature was maintained at 25 degrees Celsius. Poetically, the title of the work "Passage" comes from the exact moment the fish appeared under the wooden trunk and also refers to a temporality that will never return. It is the Japanese concept of "i-chigo i-chie" (一期一会) which is related to the unique encounter of contemplation in life that is not repeated.
