A pyramid-shaped shell, 250cm high, standing on a square, 250x250cm, base, made of semi-transparent, cobalt colored, polycarbonate material. One of the pyramid’s sides bears a triangle, isosceles opening which allows the audience to look directly into the pyramid’s interior. There, hanging from the apex, a rotating, amphi-convex lenticular disc made of aluminum, the diameter of which is 50cm, while the maximum distance of its convex surfaces is 100cm long. On the pyramid’s exterior apex, an inverted conic hopper is attached. Made of polycarbonate material, the hopper emits a laser beam. It is 150cm high, and its base diameter is 100cm long. At the opening’s entrance, a low bench which takes the shape of a sand-glass, made of non-transparent, polycarbonate material, is connected to a bioenergy mechanism, located in the construction interior. The light coming out of the pyramid becomes especially visible during the night.
