Midsummer night's pentagram
The artwork is a dialogue with the existing architecture. Once the artist has seen the architectural element of the place, he has transported it into his own imaginary and the iron and wood structure in situ has become the frame of a pentagram lying on three sides that shines losing itself in the circumstances like the notes of a song that are dispersed in the air.
