Two large river stones have been cut so that each has a perfectly flat surface. On the flat face of the larger stone, the letters 'G' and 'D' are engraved, while on the smaller one, the letter "O" is inscribed. When the flat surfaces of the two stones are brought together, the void inside them forms the word "GOD." The word is complete only when it remains unseen, much like the essence of faith.

Su due grosse pietre di fiume è stato praticato un taglio in modo che ognuna avesse una faccia perfettamente piana, sulla faccia piana della pietra più grande sono state incise le lettere 'G' and 'D', su quella più piccola la lettera O, quando le facce piane delle due pietre sono in contatto tra loro all’interno di esse si forma il vuoto della parola GOD. La parola appare nella sua interezza solo quando non la vediamo, come il senso del credere.
