Description : Magma 2 conjures up cooling lava that no longer flows freely, in the grip of the contradictory physical forces of gravity and falling temperature.
In the same chromatic range as Magma 1 – inspired by tablets adorned with calligraphy in a Korean temple – Magma 2 has been composed in a smaller format.
The thirteen smooth blocks alternating with twelve blocks assembled with a relief effect produce a vibratory sensation and depth.
