On the shore of Lake Zürich sits Bollingen Tower. Carl Jung spent decades building it with his own hands. He carried stones, carved symbols into walls, and treated the structure as a physical extension of his inner world. A central tower came first.

But over time this system accumulated context… recurring symbols, archetypes, emotional patterns, relationships between dreams across months. Certain motifs returning in different forms, the unconscious circling the same unresolved structures from different angles.
