A steel railing which vibrates in an alternating pattern. Rather than guiding or leading the viewer, the railing creates an element of uncertainty. Through the changing mechanical movement, the railing suggests a scene in a mobile environment, such as a train or a ship.

He was selected to participate in the CSAV Artists Research Laboratory at Fondazione Antonio Ratti, and was the winner of eighth edition of the Talent Prize in Rome.
