The system is composed of 10 rhombic dodecahedrons, geometrical objects part of the family of «Space-filling polyhedra»: shapes that can be assembled to generate a tessellation of an infinite space. These forms act as the building blocks for a sculpture generator.

To assemble then, the artist has developed an electronic magnetic connector, which enables all possible combinations, connecting the 10 units using any of the 12 faces of each polyhedron. For the exhibition the artist designed one specific geometrical configuration, a closed shape assembly exploiting at their best the formal and dramatic qualities of this sculpture generator.

A video is also showed in the exhibition space: a character manipulates the system and builds different forms combining the assembling of the 10 rhombic dodecahedrons.
