The artwork, titled “Relatum – Discussion,” is a 2003 sculpture by artist Lee Ufan, associated with the Minimalism art movement. It features a minimalist design, characteristic of Ufan’s work, focusing on simplicity and spatial relationships.
The sculpture consists of four large, roughly hewn stones placed in a circular arrangement around a flat, black rectangular platform on a bare floor. Each stone appears to engage in an unspoken dialogue with the central element, creating a sense of balance and contemplation. The deliberate placement of the stones and the stark contrast between the natural texture of the stones and the smooth, polished surface of the platform invite viewers to reflect on the interplay between natural and man-made elements, emphasizing the meditative and philosophical nature of the piece.
