Desert Breath center of the sculpture
The project is the brainchild of three young, intrepid Greek artists known collectively as the D.A.S.T. Art Team: sculptor Danae Stratou; her sister Alexandra, an industrial designer; and architect Stella Constandinidis. The installation, which has taken months of hard work in extreme heat and scathing winds, was scheduled to be inaugurated on November 30. But a late-autumn reminder of the desert's cruel beauty, in the form of fierce rains, pushed back the completion date to early January 1997.
