This project had for goal to replace the old fence separating Protagon space from the street by transcending the concept of barriers, limits and frontiers and offer the public space an inspiring work of art wich can transport your imagination.

I found a lot of material in the stage design workshop of Antagon theater wich i formed and bent. Square and rond straight pipes and a large ammount of flat bars of different widths and thicknesses, which gave the project its aesthetic appeal and we had of course to buy new material fiting to the existing storage.

I made plans and drawings on site of the main structure of the work to be created on scale, and i improvised the filling up artwork in between .


The whole design started from the idea of an abstract eye form , wich would incorporate light effects . from its circle evolved evolved dynamic rond and curvic shapes with different vegetal textures .

Let’s work together…
