At the center of the triangle is a thin line, a line that describes the city’s buildings against the backdrop of the hills – urban
From it, as red as a torch, in a circular, flowing line, it rises far and wide. It symbolizes presence and location. Historical source.
The sculpture continues its process of geometric abstraction and works with the familiar symbol of the torch. The flame is updated to a futuristic line, on the one hand flows and on the other consists segments in the space that create an internal space illuminated by dynamic and changing lighting.
