Description from Gustavo Penna
First, the baptismal font.
A source of pure water – the origin of everything.Through the two river banks, one reaches the third – religare; the symbol/synthesis, the cross
Sky and earth – the vertical line
All men – the horizontal lineThe internal space is created by displacing the sacred form.
The space is the movement.The wood shelters, cuddles, protects.
Nature is around participating in solidarity.

This is breathtaking, although I cant’t imagine where anyone would sit, if they wished to.
