Gnosis

The primary view is offered by the central building - a church - flanked by a rectory and community centre with a pillar façade, hiding openings allowing an uninterrupted view of the church. A sloping path leads us deeper and deeper into the absorbing terrain. We find ourselves in a church where bare walls surround us. It takes a moment to focus on them, to concentrate on what surrounds us. Only then does one look up and the walls turn into an ornate ceiling, revealing their true beauty. The beams of light streaming from the hidden windows, although they illuminate what is above, shine from below. Perhaps this is the best way to understand that before we can understand the world, we must understand ourselves.
