Text of the artwork:
le ciel et la terre
les mains et le coeur
ensemble
Text theme:
Heaven and earth speak of the climate, of the soil accepting seeds; the hands and the heart express that work and family are at the heart of all this agriculture; and together, concludes the poem, is how it happens, through cooperation and solidarity combined with the generosity of nature
Artwork theme:
Village history, its geography and its economic activities from the manufacturing, commercial and agricultural sectors. Agriculture depends on the meteorological. Natural cycles and human activities intersect
