A light and almost graphic sculpture of emptiness and the constructivist ancestry, alludes to the principle of a geometry of nature and to an underlying cosmic regulatory order, as another face of primordial chaos that together brings us back to the idea of alchemical transformation. The dark surface of the mirror refers to the element of water, symbol of a profound and indistinct contralto to the rational of the form that is mirrored, but above all topos of the element of life and therefore again of a generating principle.
