Anaxagoras, who came from Asia Minor, took the view that everything is made up of tiny little elements. You can also read this thesis in his work “On Nature”. Anaxagoras, who lived in the fifth century BC, was an observer of nature. Just as the sculpture installed here seems to reflect on nature, you should also pause for a moment and let your gaze wander over nature.

The philosopher looks seriously and thoughtfully at the landscape that unfolds before our eyes. He takes a look at today's world.
