“CUBO DI GABO - DODECAEDRO ROMBICO | DOPPIA SEDUTA”
A projet of [red]Gabriele “Gabo” Dal Dosso[/red]

At the root of his thinking, the artist was inspired by the Möbius strip structure.
Each CUBO is a geometric translation of the famous to extracts from the poetry Auguries of innocence of William Blake

and a heaven in a wild flower,
hold infinity in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour'
