Vision is abstract, but the visual is realistic. Shadow has volume and dimension; I realize that as a sculptor while I draw the surface, layer after layer, they also create dimension in space. "Towards The Sky" creates a huge space through the visionary study of the visual experience of the surface. It is a visual biography of an individual, his existence in space and in the space of time
