The work symbolizes a rising sun in frame by frame animation. On different parts of the wall, we see a sun changing color with a background of deconstructed black lines moving like clouds of abstract smoke. The first three images show the sphere below the rising horizon, while the last three images show it above.

It is within the framework of Gemellarte, the cultural twinning project between the city of Saint-Ouen in France and the city of Terni that I was able to realize during 10 days this painting.
