The artist's works are concerned with the theme of deception. The deception of perception. In this logic, the artist found it extremely appealing to deal with the double modular façade of the building erected in the 1970s on the former site of the headquarters of the Ministry of State Security of the GDR in Berlin. The grid structure of the modular façade was designed to allow light in, but not transparency. It served to ensure that the employees of the State Security Service (Stasi) could not be photographed from outside the building.
The artist now takes up this wall element in an object and adds further deceptive elements. The artwork itself leans against the wall in several sections and can only be deciphered further by the movement of the viewer. As always with Roza's artistic realization: concrete to abstract and ultimately minimalistic.
