There are amazing pictures of people up on the stones going wild and that's the image I recreated for my model of the project: full access to everyone. I even invented a Stonehenge soccer team that uses spaces between the stones as goals.

• At a certain point, you cannot handle everything yourself; having a team around you is very important. To have a strong team of people in which you can rely and people that you've been working with for years. I relate it to soccer - you have different positions and you have to bring in the right person at the right position.
