A ramp angled at 35° holds an elegant, stylised human figure poised in an almost impossible curve. On the brink of losing balance, the figure remains in position at an instant of geometric and mathematical collapse. The transparency of the figure enhances its stylised shapes, and the changing light creates an unlimited play of nuances and sensations.
