By placing panels at right angles, Tordoir forces the viewer into another manner of seeing. Mentally and physically, a concept must be formed from a combination of all given elements. The work is physically and mentally built up from several layers, and cannot be fully taken in by a single glance. The meaning is not literally readable. The 'meaning' of the artwork is not created according to linguistic principles of sentence structure. Image and language are two different systems of relating to reality.
