In robotised factories, the T-slot is an essential structural component. These metal profiles are used to mount sensors, lightweight robotic arms, conveyors, guards or panels, and facilitate the adjustment or reconfiguration of production lines.
The artist repurposes this industrial element into a giant sculpture that both fills and reflects the space. On the wall, a series of panels presents variations of T-profiles, arranged as a language of formal possibilities.

Félix extends his warmest thanks to the teachers and students who participated in this endeavour.
