    Trois Angles à 135° (Three Angles at 135°), nicknamed by the artist as The Spider, constitutes numerous wooden blocks accented with blue, and produced by the intersection of three broken lines that spread outwards in six directions.

Moutashar does not think of his floor pieces as sculptures or installations but rather as constructions - constructed as they are of elements within a certain arrangement, in this case a mutable space of broken lines that appear to rotate.
