Insofar as it has both a "finite" number of elements in a closed space and yet allows an "indefinite" number of combinations, the kaleidoscope gives an illustration, concrete and symbolic at the same time, of the way of which one can create something new by a simple rearrangement of what already existed before.
He thus gives a figure reconciling the apparently opposed terms of permanence and change, of identity and difference.
It is not the elements that make the whole thing, but the form that their combination takes.
This piece is made up of six linked sections, like six kaleidoscopic images.
