By solidifying, liquid wax, by analogy with water, freezes the movements that animate it. The configurations created when the solids are immersed in the wax are balanced by the different colours and shapes of the solids themselves. Here, it is the liquid that gives shape to the solids. Images of cities and elastic bands were also immersed in the liquid wax, which mobilized their plasticity.
