Briefly about the painting:

One of the “architectural” works by Kay Sage has philosophical meaning. The surreal abstract tower, as the name suggests, is a hyphen. Perhaps it connects the sky with the earth or the life that can be assumed behind the numerous open windows with going into non-being. Some experts see a certain bookcase with books and folders in this picture. In any case, the slightly inclined construction is wobbly, and the background against which it is clearly drawn is anxiously gray, unfriendly, like a stormy sky.
