This rare early sculpture originates from one of Jaume Plensa's first exhibitions circa 1980 and comes from a formative period in his career, when the artist was exploring the expressive potential of simple industrial materials and linear forms.
Constructed from iron, the work is composed of a carefully arranged balance of vertical and horizontal elements, resulting in a clear and restrained abstract form. The carefully curated interplay of bold straight lines, open space and suspended forms creates an architectural sculpture with an unexpected lightness.

Despite its apparent simplicity, the sculpture holds a strong presence and demonstrates Plensa’s early fascination with perception and the relationship between space and form.
