Cosmogony

In the very beginning
there were four elements
- water, air, fire and earth,
which slowly joined together
to build our current Universe.

A universe of matter ruled by light
which sculpts the air masses,
scatters the white nebulosities
and projects to the ground
plenty of tapered shadows.

The whole in a singular asymmetry,
a striking contrast between sky and earth.
