The work proposes a visual exploration of randomness through the free placement of rods on the surface of the board. The resulting composition maintains an apparent instability but conceals a subtle balance, born from the tension between chaos and order. Space becomes a living element that defines the shapes through the distances between them, giving them a depth that invites the viewer to reflect on the relationship between fullness and emptiness. This interaction reveals the contrast between hardness and plasticity, creating a continuous discord between the opposing elements that make up the piece.
