Notes: "A 3-Dimensional fantasy of a refinery" based on drawings the artist made at a petrochemical plant in Sisak, Croatia. "The formulas surprinted on the shapes have been extracted from actual processes in the procedures. Unlike reality, this version can assume many variations when it is erected" -- P. [2].
