Hallard works with the themes of space and geometry, manipulating images and arrangements of objects in order to challenge the perception of the viewer.
This artwork plays with an ambiguity alternating between architectural interior and something that appears to be a protruding form.
The zones of color, likewise, play mischief instead of proclaiming the concrete.
