The story behind

The matter surface is the one that is normally revealed, but only by going deeper can we fully understand the processes and forces that generated it.

Lava is molten rock that has been expelled from the interior of a planet onto its surface. Lava may have erupted on land or underwater.

The word Lava comes from Italian and is probably derived from the Latin word labes, which means a fall.

Lava stool is made of Lava rocks from the Etna volcano on the island of Sicily, Italy, one of the world’s most active volcanoes with eruptions occurring beneath the sea since about 500,000 years ago.

The rocks seem frozen and suspended in an infinite cosmic moment, like a sort of underwater cross section that has flung open the doors to this ancestral activity of the Universe, in all its majesty and wonder.

The natural Lava surface is not covered by resin on the section planes, so you can touch the energy still vibrating in this ancient material. A reflection on terrestrial matter with an eye towards the Universe.
