Life is breathed into this square, a very basic object, thanks to the stains of color that have been applied to it through use. A dialogue is created between the subject and the void, where the same hues appear in varying degrees of nuance. The square seems to emerge from the background of the canvas, thanks to the different gradations of grey and the play of shadows.
