When activated by touch or the movement of air, the rods produce a perceptible, fixed note accompanied by a range of ethereal tones, transforming the sculpture from a static object into a dynamic, multisensory experience.

الاصل
مجموعه خاصهمصنوعة من نحاس البريليوم، وهي مادة يفضلها بيرتويا لخصائصها الصوتية الفائقة وجاذبيتها الجمالية، وقد اكتسبت القضبان بمرور الوقت لوناً زنجارياً غنياً يشبه خشب الجوز. تضيف هذه الزنجار إلى جاذبية المنحوتة البصرية، وتعزز قيمتها التاريخية والفنية، وتعكس عملية الشيخوخة الطبيعية التي كان الفنان نفسه، وهو عالم الطبيعة، معجباً بها. عند تنشيطها باللمس أو حركة الهواء، تُنتج القضبان نغمة ثابتة محسوسة مصحوبة بمجموعة من النغمات الأثيرية، مما يحول المنحوتة من جسم ثابت إلى تجربة ديناميكية متعددة الحواس. تضيف الحركة الطويلة المتمايلة للقضبان الطويلة، التي تذكرنا بالأعشاب الصحراوية المتموجة التي ألهمت الفنان في البداية، بعداً بصرياً آسرًا. كما تستحضر الزخارف الشبيهة بأعشاب القطايل الأشكال الطبيعية، مما يؤكد إلهام برتويا المستمد من العالم الطبيعي.
منحوتة "سونامبينت" التي يبلغ طولها 36 سناماً للفنان برتويا هي أكثر من مجرد تحفة بصرية؛ فهي تستكشف بعمق الصوت والمادة والتفاعل التشاركي. وهي تجسد إيمان برتويا بالفن كتجربة غامرة ومتطورة، حيث يقدم كل لقاء اكتشافات وأحاسيس. من خلال هذا العمل، ابتكر بيرتويا قطعة فنية خالدة لا تزال تأسر وتلهم الجميع، مسلطاً الضوء على قوة رؤيته الفنية الدائمة وارتباطه العميق بالصفات الروحية للطبيعة.
