This sculpture is made from materials that could be found in almost any household. Five plastic bottles identical in form, three of them green, two of them black. A wired-up white fluorescent tube pierces the bottles and, when switched on, imparts a constant glow from within. The bottles become containers of a trace of energy. The light brings colour to life and reveals the unexpectedly pleasing inner contours of the bottles. Because the bottle is a moulded shape, these visual notes are repeated, creating a rhythm.
