This artwork is one of 33 artworks from the Contemplation cycle based on the contrast of the circle and the rectangle: the rectangle symbolizes earthly, material space, while the circle represents perfection, wholeness and infinity. This encounter becomes a place of contemplation, connecting the transient and the eternal.
Ultramarine, the color of the sea and sky, evokes a spiritual dimension, while gold, the symbol of the sun, introduces an element of transcendence. The golden wire, placed in two directions, emphasizes the relationship between the earthly and the otherworldly.
The work creates a space for introspection and slowing down in this fast-paced world. Through simple shapes, colors and textures, the work invites reflection and inner exploration, inviting the viewer to return to the basics of existence and calm in today's congested world.
