Orbite optique nÃÅ¡ 2 Through the use and arrangement of ovoid shapes, comparable to that of leaves and petals, this artwork became known as the Artichoke, even though it bears no relation to the plant or organic realm. It is the elliptical curve that represents the Earth in its orbit around the sun. The curve is multiplied and solidified here in a symbolic representation of our terrestrial world, which is at once immutable and in motion.
