A sense of restlessness and continuous tension. A feeling that drives man to overstep the bounds of earthly reality which is oppressive and stifling to take refuge in the inner being, in a size that exceeds the space-time. Infinity translates man into an indistinct pleasure, where what is good becomes uncontrollable and coincides with nature.

A golden fractal grid as an allegory of the infinity that stands above the grass which is metaphor of sensible reality of the world. The statue symbolize the man as the only creature able to grasp the mathematical principles that are beyond nature of things, although each new discovery always opens new unanswered questions.
