"La luce, percorrendo l'itinerario stabilito dal grado della curva ritagliata in una zona della prima tela, determina riflessi di ombre che vengono ad appoggiarsi sul campo della seconda superficie ed a trasmettersi alle successive. Le forme circolari si esaltano nella coabitazione con le ombre curve, riflesse secondo il luogo della loro diversa collocazione e vengono a determinare inediti campi spaziali"


"Light, following the path established by the degree of the cut-out curve in an area of the first canvas, determines the throwing of shadows onto the second surface which are transmitted onto the following ones. The circular forms are intensified as a result of their cohabitation with the curved shadows, reflected according to where they have been placed, and unusual spatial areas are the result."
