This sculpture consists of 12400 silk threads, partially screen-printed dark blue, weighed down by steel bars. Each thread carries a 'grain of weight', little more than one gram. This adds up to a total of two and a half stones.
The threads form a dark cube in which a white sphere seems to be floating. It is luminous and non-transparent and looks so solid that people try to touch the 'Fata Morgana'.
