Goals

Main theme: Movement and Life
The artwork is inspired by the theme “Movement and Life” and the associated attributes which will be expressed and are transformed into glass art. The artwork is situated in the main entrance area of the Renal Unit, just behind the main waiting/seating area. The view to the outside should eb obscured and patients should be distracted while waiting. Ever changing light situations transform the whole room into a contantly changing, colourful environment. The artwork becomes part of the building.
