In each of the four sheets, starting from the first one at the top left, a collage of white modules foreshadows the elements that follow, while starting from the second element a pencil drawing reproduces the previous elements time after time.
The work harkens back to the theme conceived in 1976 in Delos (GPO-0333) and further developed between 1977 and 1979 in the group of five variants for Novero of which it is a part (GPO-0352, GPO-0353, GPO-0368, GPO-0369, GPO-0405).
