This stage of the project takes inspiration from the Solovki Islands: an archipelago in northwestern Russia close to Finland, a few kilometres from the Arctic Circle. On these islands there are ancient stone labyrinths, whose original function is today unknown. One hypothesis is that they held a religious function, that is to say, they could have been places where particular rites were celebrated. In the fifteenth century, an important monastery was also located in the Solovki Islands. During the Russian Revolution, it was desecrated and the cathedral was transformed into a dormitory. In the 1920s the monastery, whose position prevented any attempt of escape, was transformed into the first gulag of the Bolshevik regime.
