This polyptych is composed of 36 watercolor units, each fixed to a weight of 11 grams.
Each unit is aligned with the price of gold per gram. Its value is not assigned, but indexed, continuously, without interpretation.
No transformation occurs in the material itself. The paper remains paper. Yet, under the condition of exposure, to light, to measure, to the present, a shift takes place.
The watercolor does not become gold. It is brought into equivalence with it.
What is revealed is what can be measured. What is measured acquires weight. What acquires weight enters value.
Each unit remains autonomous. Together, they form a structured whole: 36 units, 396 grams, one aggregated value.
The image persists, but it is no longer central. The work operates as both surface and system, presence and index.
At any given moment, the polyptych reflects a strict parity with gold. It does not interpret, it does not project. It responds.

Confirmation defines ownership.
The transaction finalizes the work.
