Castle of the Eye I is a Cube placed on a small cylindrical shaft based on a low profile of black granite. In this monolithic cube of marble the author carved small and faintly irregular concentric steps towards the central square. These successive square frames dig as a whole, a pyramid whose top moves to the inside of the hub.
