In his statement Velimir wrote:
The pictorial problem which I tried to solve making this work is to try to unify solid part of the sculpture, and part that consists of several waving tubes into one unique shape.
As the contrast of the witness of the outside surface, I have painted inside structure of the form pink and pale blue.
I have used those two different colors to disorder too much symmetry.
