Similar to The inner kaleidoscope, 2000, this work consists of a square wooden construction, internally lined with mirrors and abutting a window. A rotating “sun” in the form of a translucent yellow disc is located within. Both the sun and the view of the outside are infinitely reflected in the mirrors.
