Description:
This pyramid-shaped sculpture is a testimony to creativity. Acting like a signal, the chosen colour, red, and the luminous area, in the center, attracts attention. Stable and solid, the square-shaped pedestal balances out the mysterious effect produced by the luminous shimmer inside the piece. Inside the pyramid, the artist put in artificial suspension words related to the main values attributed to the work environment, i.e. human beings and economics. Fifty-something such values are thus kept captive under the pyramid, along with a powerful laser that illuminates each piece of suspended mica on which one of the values has been written.

Concilier épanouissement humain avec efficacité - rentabilité de l’entreprise oui… Mission Possible, grâce aux valeurs dans la pyramide, apportées par les nouveaux outils de management !
