Condition

There is some accumulation of dust between the plastic elements and could benefit from a light cleaning. Several of the plastic elements are slightly bent near the edges, however they do not effect the overall composition. Overall the work is in very good condition.

Catalogue Note

I want to bring the spectator to live a changing situation which allows him to discover color becoming itself, as well as the possibility of finding its own emotional resonance.
