2. The concept and meaning
People in cities are busy, getting thousands impressions, doing a lot of
things at the same time. Nothing Space gives within this world of being
busy a moment of surprise, harmony and dreaming. A moment for them-
selves. Looking at the beauty of amazing structure and light. Nothing
Space combines the structure and light of cities in a totally innovative and
surprising way.
Nothing Space is a subtle, harmonious coloured sculpture and has to be
discovered. From the outside it makes people curious to go in and discover
its beauty.
I am creating Nothing Spaces because I am convinced people need every
day moments of dreaming, of reflecting of nothing.
