The scout is a staging of energies
produced by the meeting of opposing elements.

It is an environmental sculpture that uses the
uneven ground to reinforce these oppositions, these encounters between the following elements: water and fire; machined materials and unmachined materials; vertical (lighthouse, character) and horizontal (waves) elements; them
Oxidized surfaces and stainless surfaces. These are all concepts put into play to represent the foundations of hydroelectric production: a fusion between human work and its environment.
