commissioned by Suppressed Creatives for Odera Hotel Tinos, Greece

WIND BREAKER is a natural built sculpture to inhabit, constructed in Tinos island in Greece. The piece is a structure made from stabilized adobe bricks with hydraulic lime, produced on-site in specially designed wooden molds of specific shapes. It is located in a spot where one can see it from all sides while descending the path towards the beach. If someone wishes, they can approach it, enter it to shelter from the strong Tinian winds, meditate, and relax while gazing at the sea. It is inspired by the structure of the artichoke, a characteristic local vegetable of Tinos.
