“Once I asked Satoshi what motivated the relationship between two stones—one just resting on the other and partly extending well beyond it in the air. He replied by asking me to think of how a bird tuffs its wings as it lands. He may have also mentioned a falling leaf just about to touch the earth.

I think the piece is called Entre la pierre et l’air. But a leaf,

a bird . . . and maybe half a ton of granite? ”
