Solaris #5 presents itself as a panoramic view of an imaginary architectural space, made up of dizzying perspectives that refer to the virtual dimension or the metaverse.
Angular walls, metal structures, windows and thresholds, long empty corridors constitute an inscrutable labyrinth from which emerges, in the central part and in the foreground, a tangled complex system animated by suspended, colored and luminescent geometric objects.
Sort of a large waiting room, limbo, negative dimension, suspended between life and death, the architecture of this drawing approaches an almost post-science fiction vision, similar to the settings illustrated in the novel Solaris by Stanislaw Lem and then filmed in the film homonymous by Andrej Tarkowskij of 1972.
