I was fascinated by the layers of granite carvings with a variety of animals, when 3 humans (social animals) appeared on the top layer, suggesting that humans are on top of everything, the good , the bad or the ugly.
The world is no longer a peaceful place with no order, so what is the use of being on top of the pyramid.
The repeated processions of carved figures communicate cultural memory and craftsmanship. Strong illumination across the raised surfaces makes the carvings tactile and readable, while the deep shadows suggest age, mystery, and accumulated history. Their rhythmic arrangement also carries the eye across the building rather than allowing the detail to become entirely chaotic.
