RŸckriem's sculptures can be seen in different cities of Europe. Many of them are square pillars cut out from grayish granite. They look like masses of stone just sitting there, without any noticeable carving or working. Yet closer scrutiny of his work reveals the individual pieces to be made by dividing a single mass of stone in half or in three and then dividing each piece again in half, and they are exhibited in such a way that the entire sculpture's original state can be restored.
The artist expresses himself to the utmost in this way by working a stone, and in so doing he questions us about the meaning of self-expression and art. This particular work is made by cutting out a single gigantic stone into 8 square pillars (210cm high), each of which was created by a different process. When exhibiting the work, Ru Ôckriem places these stone pillars in cross stripes, so that only from one particular direction will all of the eight pillars line up as one, forming a monumental mass.
