The shelter is located in the tidal landscape of the Wal-Zwijn flood area near Hamme. This sculpture is slightly hidden from the dike. It is a cocoon of 3 by 3 meters. The exterior is made of corten steel, while the interior is fully finished with woven, living hazel and willow branches. The passer-by is invited to step inside the capsule. It is a sheltered resting place to listen and look at the surrounding mudflats and salt marshes. Because the woven wood is alive, the artwork grows and evolves with the seasons.
