Petre Virgiliu Mogosanu presented the work “Movement in a Defined Space” at the “Baku Steel Art 2025” Symposium. “Anybody in space moves and is in continuous movement and transformation. Each volume has an infinity of possible movements or directions depending on the factors that influence it and with which it comes into contact.

In this composition, I used the form of an egg, which is a symbol of life. I extend this shape into a spiraling broken cone. This structure, together with other similar shapes, creates a complex intersection of volumes, lines and shadows.

With this form, I invite the viewer to imagine possible directions of the sculpture's volumes, the intersection of lines, and the continuity of connections in infinite space. Thus, we are reminded that the universe is infinite, just as our freedom to move within a space is infinite”.
