Description An architectural structure that seems to be focused on the crater
Caption Nitzan Rafaeli was commissioned to build eight sound sculptures for Desert Sculpture Park but before they were complete the funding ran out and only four were installed. In addition to Bird's Window he also created Fan Xylophone and Ship of the Desert. One of them, the 4th sculpture, Rain Cloud, is now missing, probably destroyed for the salvage.
