Hero, the glass constellation containing a heroic figure, reflects upon the existance of immaterial realities. Six glass plates provide the structure for a life size rectangular box. Despite the fact that this statue is completely transparent, supposedly no one's attention is grasped by the hero that inhabits the glass. Besides its title, nothing in this piece makes you aware of the presence of a hero.
