A monolith is a rock that symbolizes strength and durability, a scroll with stored universal secrets and truths on it. It contains a text in a language incomprehensible to most people, but it is known for its existence. The idea was to make a likable, simple form but exceptionally informative and detailed.

The sculpture for this location I tried to design and tailor to human size. Nevertheless, the height of this light sculpture should be from 300 to 350 cm. I've escaped the rectangular shape, even though it was easier to fit into the setting, believing that amorphous shapes have much greater potential.

Sculptures and proposals for the call contain drawings and engravings, which vary from realistic or geometric to abstract representations. Engravings are made by hand or with a CNC machine. This example is a combination of both.

Elements and symbols this sculpture would have on its surface are combined in various ways that are not immediately connectable, and have meaning not immediately legible. It’s a puzzle. The concept is designed to intrigue the observer to make individual sculpture interpretations.

The sculpture's body is made in several phases. Constructive parts of the sculpture are shaped with stainless steel wires and profiles, welded, chrome-plated, or plasticized, depending on the agreement. After this first phase of skeleton making, we start to work with UV-resistant acrylic glass or polycarbonate.

A form is built by joining and bending previously prepared plastic segments.
Variations of colors and shapes come to the fore, making this technique alive and always different. Due to the work in layers and the use of light, the sculpture has two faces. One is when the light is off, making only the colorful outer surface of the sculpture along with its texture visible. When the light comes on, you get a broader picture of the form, its depth, overlaps, color mixing, etc.

The stainless steel skeleton is mounted on a concrete foundation. The sculpture also has the option to be solar-powered, and in both cases with the LED lighting system inside.
