Description: The impersonal forms and industrial colours of Sol Aris's previous works are still present, but in a different form. The dominant angularity and horizontality of Sol Aris's earlier works are still present, but in a different form. The embellished figure enriches the eternal or spiritual dimension and its limitless possibilities. The artist employs a rectangular grid to define the colours, which therefore stand alone. The endless curves are closed in a tribute to misery. In this image Sol Aris shows the relationship between toothpaste and bare feet. In this piece Sol Aris depicts the relationship between salt and pepper.

The arena of contrasting tone and hue in this prototype, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind measure when calculating long periods of time... Unexpectedly, we see the short vertical line symbolising the self curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy.

``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
