General Manager

Job Description:

A pile of stones will lie where they are placed forever. When a human being decides to place those stones into a square shape, the stones move into this square shape. The stone square will be as tidy, organised and clearly formed as the idea of the square living in the human being''s thinking. The stones will now remain in the square form and will only move again when the human being decides to improve the square or move some of the stones to tidy up the shape or put them back on the pile.
