The step of my youth.
Steps are going to be needed around the pool
and in many other places in the property.
It is as important to decide where to place those stairs
as it is to decide of the measurements of each step.
Steps are elements that have to be experienced
rather than designed.
I cannot imagine what the feeling of climbing
steps will be just by looking at a drawing.
So I decided to use the step profile
of the stairs inside the building of my youth
which reminds me of those days every time I use them.
Walking up those steps is like smelling a familiar odor.
It is not something I see yet it firmly triggers
sets of specific memories.
In the future
memories of new moments are going to build up
on the fading sets of old memories
so I will have to think of another way
to preserve those early memories.
Could I keep those memories alive
by using the same material
or should I just get another DAT tape?

You could hide boxes in the garden with odors,
pictures, sounds, notes recorded in that beautiful
place you remember. You would probably be
the only one to know they are there.
