All works: wire frame, bright white electroluminescent cable, inverter

The sculptural drawings are made of electroluminescent wire. The drawn line acquires a three-dimensional presence, the materiality of which is transformed into a purely visual phenomenon. The luminous wire demarcates the outline of each shape and creates the illusion of solid volumes, where the viewer knows that there is nothing but mere stretched out lines. The series comprises five different platonic forms, which form the core structure of each object.
