''Light sculpture designed by Yann Kersalé to the Grand Place. Whatever the direction taken to reach the Grand Place - North, South, East, West - one enters the confined space paved ground, historic facade, sky. Also enclosed you can be in this place, it inspires, it exudes tranquility, calm, perhaps the scale? Perhaps the place? Regardless, there is. Sort of grand ballroom of a castle unlikely whose ceiling is the sky, framed by richly carved facades. This is the space of sky that becomes support of convergence, starting four entities dotted lines that intertwine against the backdrop of European airspace. As many dots as ideas, passions, thoughts from the four cardinal points to speak, unite, educate, socialize... '' Yann Kersalé.
