Description: 

Mural embedded into the bump out of a wall and made of stacks of laminated polychromatic wood. According to the artist, the outer edges of the piece, which are painted blue and placed in a such a way as to create relief, evoke the movement of waves in the sea. In the middle, the mural is rather shaped like a reddish triangle. A large, vertical groove cuts through this central portion of the work. Here and there, the mural is punctured with small windows showing various inscriptions (signs, numbers, letters, words or codes), as well as with other larger windows that present 3D images.
