In the Timée Dialogue, Plato describes a family of solids, matching each one with one of the four elements. With the icosaedron he associated water, which flows through our bare hands as if it was made of microscopic balls.
Our glance turns around the object while it seems to avoid our perceptions. We need the highlighted pentagons within to fully understand its construction principle.
The sculpture is a link between the ending of the international chemistry year devoted to crystallography, and the beginning of a new one focused on light.
