This is a sculpture tower made with large cast white limestone blocks and a sound system installed within.

‘In Münsterland, a tower calls for unity. Humming from dawn to dusk, its sounds reverberates in space, expanding the sculpture’s energy and message to humanity as a wished-for congregation. Installed near the Romanesque church of St. Bonifatius in Freckenhorst and not so far from the mosques of a nearby Muslim community, it reflects on the possibility of release from a vision of the world impaired by divisions.’
