During the pandemic, Nico Kok collected many used construction toys from second-hand stores and internet.
He also collected ministeck. Ministeck is a simple and ingenious play principle: with plugging, loosening, re-plugging and designing you can  make a mosaic of a image. Nico made a square of the ministeck pieces.
There are five different pieces of ministeck in many colors. Two pieces of the five have a certain direction. By giving the ministeck pieces in  the square a different direction from its surroundings, it is recognizable. Not because of the color because the color of the pieces are randomly chosen.
Themes by Nico Kok such as: square, what can be done with the shape, use of material properties,vertical/horizontal , patterns, etc
He used about 23 thousand pieces of ministeck for this work.
The work is signed at the back.
