The composition resembles a stage setting, employing a multi-layered depth arrangement. At the center is an abstract structure in gray, with the title evoking a connection to it. This non-figurative gray form originates from the projection of a regular geometric shape, from which emerges a spectrum of colors, transitioning from [[white]] to [[anthracite gray]]. The construction and the represented objects intertwine with the artist's exploration, as the artist perceives the canvas as a mirror of the inner world, a place where the soul meets that of the [[viewer]]. == Related pages == * [[Salvatore Garau]] * [[Prospettiva di Lago (Garau)]] ==References== {{reflist}} ==Other websites== *{{commons cat-inline}} * [https://archivioraam.org/opera/universita-
