The paper sculpture was constructed from numerous hexagonal pyramids with varying inclinations. These are arranged to replicate a wave-like movement that flows through the entire composition, conveying the impression of a frozen texture.

The homogeneous white coloring intensifies the interplay of light and shadow created by the faceted surface, generating a visual dynamic that, despite its static nature, suggests an inner vitality.

The work illustrates how movement and rhythm can be captured in an otherwise motionless medium.
