The value of a work of art most frequently starts from the very look and idea of experiencing what the work of art exceeds and breaks the limits- whatever gets out, escapes!
It is this very escape that somehow marked the artist’s game of style by which there are elements marked with some graphics just like elements from a dried up canal, the jaws of a strong, black and irregular flatbed or just slightly raised. The undulating canal, depicted by small pieces of beige marble, is intersected by thin metal dams which are sequencing it into a few areas where small pieces of colourful glass flash as a reminder of life that circulated along the dry bed that is represented by the dried up canal. The dark, rocky surface above and below this withered canal represent a heavy blackness that is carried over onto gaping and strong elements of sharp corners, set off to bite what was left of the trace of water/life.
