A very light layer of surface dust is present overall. A faint layer of oxidation is present at the extreme ends of the wire T elements, which is consistent with their age and material. This work is ready to hang.

"If I continue to create works of art, it is mainly to demonstrate to others the phenomena that I've discovered. Personally, as I've said, I could do without this, but I want to awaken people, to interest them in knowledge of universal phenomena, as foreseen by the artist, the scientist, the philosopher..."  Jesús Rafael Soto
