This mobile ceiling sculpture made of sheet metal, iron, brass and polychrome steel wire, displays an aerial composition, where suspended discs float with great lightness. The vibrant and expansive red dominates the composition and directs the eye through a rhythmic sequence of circular forms that decrease and expand in a delicate play of tensions. Each disc seems to dialogue with the next, linked by thin rods and wires that function as drawing lines in the air.
The structure is carefully calculated to sustain a dynamic balance. The small elements at the ends provide subtlety and counterpoint, while the larger discs act as visual cores of gravity. This alternation of weights and sizes creates a suspended choreography.
