Concept

  • Optical Illusion of reduction of the section: this effect is the most evident effect given by the twist of the sides
  • Twist: it allows the massive column to look more slender and dynamic
  • Incrementing rotation of the sticks: within the same column multiple movement are taking place:the sticks are both rotating and sliding between the different layers
