For the last 10 years, American artist Ra Paulette has been walking alone into New Mexico’s desert to work. He spends his time carving a sandstone cave that he found, turning it into a wonderful subterranean space full of light.
With no one but his dog for company, Paulette created different designs and styles for every cavern, giving each one very specific qualities and textures.
The purpose of this gigantic artwork is to create an environment that would inspire “spiritual renewal and personal well being.” It will also serve as a venue for artistic events once it’s finished.

How can anyone own a cave? It's been there for millions of years and cannot belong to anyone.
every piece of gravel/rock is that old. But still you can buy rocks at the store. Same as oil, patches of land, and what not.
Same way you can own a piece of land. You buy it.
Human beings have taken over and destroyed the planet which is millions of years old and your complaining because a man has an eco cave?
So how long has the land under your house been there???? You can own it the same way you own your home.
Are you a fucking idiot?
Negative way to look at life. Get out of the misery.
@OlivierGioan, you are a fucking retard.
Derr, you own the cave when you own the land it's on.
Ya. I mean, like, what even IS land anyway? You know?
Holy crap! That's crazy... People are still replying to this comment.
How can you own a plot of land or a house, a shirt, a toy, a sandwich, etc? Through societal consensus backed up by governmental force, Duh
It's just a piece of land with rock with a hole in it. Why should you not be allowed to own it? I don't understand some of this ignorance.
I would think that if you were using the cave you are "in possession" of the cave but you don't 'own' it if you leave; anyone can have it!
How can a farmer own soil? How can you own a flat? ...
Haha you obviously have no assets
Haha you obviously have no assets
The cave was not pre-existing. He dug them out by hand. If you dig a hole on the land you own you still own the land and the hole.

You are definitly right . Nobody should "own a cave". White people are stupid monkeys with no respect for anything .
why bring skin color into it? Idiotas
What a great place to "go to work" and such a fine co-worker to spend the day with you.
Absolutely amazing.
