    A sculpture expresses itself under direct light, revealing its forms through the subtle play of shadows. The vertical triangles touch the ground at a single point and support the bidirectional slab, on which the outer walls are suspended, creating a band of light that clearly delineates the space. Additionally, the triangles accompany the skylights, creating ideal locations for the sculptures. The wooden floor adds a warm touch contrasting with the rest of the project in brushed stainless steel, which accentuates the power of the structure.

To highlight the discovery of sculptures, the exhibition space plays on an interior-exterior contrast. As one approaches, a mysterious volume takes shape, unified by a relief opaque skin that becomes smooth once inside. Then, the sculptures arranged throughout the space appear in front of large triangles, enhanced by direct natural light. This light, casting onto the geometric forms, creates a powerful atmosphere, where light becomes structure and structure becomes light.
