All four parts of the quadriptych are distinguished by their spaciousness, lightness, and clarity of composition and color palette. At the center of each painting is a laconic substance, symbolizing the movement of an internal emotional state. It is flexible, dancing, alive, as if hovering above the earth. It is a closed system of lines, having neither beginning nor end.
