The prison had been in its position standing still, undergoing the wear and tear of nature and human vandalism. The sea and the prison in such close proximity have been having a conversation with each other since ages .A moment in this conversation had been encapsulated into a museum which holds artistic decor, where a wave tried to collide with the prison and the structure standing in its glory is width standing it. The wave had been symbolized in to a form which shows a brutal nature of water, its intensity, force, sharpness and edges which is trying to engulf the prison from all sides.
Favignana, with its strong geographical and
historical context of the Tonara and the Mattanza, is an important aspect of culture. The process of the tuna getting caught in a series of nets which diminishes gradually
ultimately reaching the chamber of death is graphically represented in to the pathway leading to the prison, and later into the wave which combines with a series of nets.
A museum, has been proposed as an extension to the prison complex .The articulation of the museum ,has been deliberately done towards the rear side of the prison, so as to cause no visual hindrance, to a visitor who approaches the prison, on the front inclined pathway.The circulation inside the museum is organic resembling the flow
of water in between small and big stones wherein they form the display areas of the artists.
