The artwork, titled “DNA,” was created by Lygia Pape in 2003 and belongs to the Conceptual Art movement. This installation piece features an arrangement that evokes a deep sense of contemplation and thought.
The artwork consists of numerous large, shallow white bowls placed on the floor, each containing a red liquid. These bowls are arranged on vast sections of dark and light granular materials, which appear to be sand or similar substances. The contrasting colors and textures create a striking visual balance. Overhead, several hanging light bulbs illuminate the installation, casting reflections and emphasizing the materials’ surfaces. The arrangement of the bowls and the lights meticulously creates a rhythmic pattern, inviting viewers to reflect on the underlying themes.
