Pah-d'-Bah, 2021 was made to follow a horizontal plane, restricted in certain directions, it had to follow set dimensions. The openings in the pipes suggest places where liquid or a substance could fall or be collected. The colour tone is a new development, trying to emphasise where material might move or rest.
