Thus the ‘pink flux’ enhances the threshold condition of the colonial arcade in a twofold manner: 

First, by undermining its perimeter with a continuous zigzagging surface that re - establishes a physical relationship to the contiguous plaza. 
Second, by closing up at first instance the visual connectivity and then opening up specific pinholes in the base of the cones. These holes precisely describe the axis between windows in the north side of the gallery and the larger openings in the south wall. The work is simply projected into the niches formed by the surface. 

Blurring the boundary between interior and exterior, Fluxo Rosa remains ambiguous in its dialogue between the existing traditional spatial concept of repeating room modules and its own continuous variation. The installation invites exploration and discovery of the varying light and spatial conditions throughout the length of the space and the course of the day.
