"A total of 118 concrete tiles were designed and built, reflecting the number of elements in the open structure of the periodic table.

Each tile contains an object related to a situation.

The objects embedded in the concrete represent a sedimentation process that is determined.

By omitting various elements (here, at Tacker, not providing a complete representation of the periodic table) and consciously selecting the four elements shown (hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, sodium), together with the fifth row of the periodic table displayed on the wall, a reaction is created, the result of an experiment as a sculptural position on the base.

There are also notes on the wall and on the base that describe the chemical process that took place and name the four elements involved in the reaction."
