Born from the fascination with offering trays and libation basins called Soul Houses. These miniature buildings, made by and for the people from the mud found in abundance on the banks of the Nile, seem to be the only object marking the surface of the tombs of the common people during the Egyptian Middle Kingdom. They unfold here in a set of cave plateaus, where masses of glass, earth and rock are merged. They generate a series of liquid and mineral refuges for the invisible part that detaches from the deceased.

Each title in these series voluntarily maintains the historical name of the objects to which it refers. Allowing to signify the conceptual idea conveyed, and to pay homage to it.
