Original artwork description:

in this work, i wanted to go deeper in color theory and also play with mathematic rules but keep it simple.
the shape is based on phi number and then sides from the sequence.
square of 21, sides of 5, 8 cm it implies that the "cube" will never have all sides touching the wall together.
I always love to create illusion from the shape and also from the colors.
therefore i have a back light (halo) coming from inside the work that creates a new dimension in the sculpture without seeing it.
The triangle shape has always been important in my work, linked to architecture, geometry, sacred geometriy and symbol connected to it. we all strive for stability and wisdom.
Naturally, i came back to it and thought that it would be a good time to manifest it and encourage this shape in the period of time being and creating.
on the main surface, the square, i wanted to create a tessellation of triangle that would explore shades from purple to blue. how to create rhythm from within and spread it with equality, well now i know you can't.
Allowing all colors to have the same surface ratio showed me that some colors saturated faster and some came out unnoticed.
they all fit it, 100 triangles, covered all, many layers to be sure to create the best harmony on all axes (xyz and more)

as most of my works, it can be hang on the wall all sides and will create a new halo and shadow different each time.

i wish each viewer can create his:her/their own harmony, and accept this gradient as new ray of light inside.
