In "Paratura", there are the work forms such as "Scultura" or "Statues of light", "Galleria" or "corridor of light" that sets up the arch type structure and "Spalliera" or "Wall ornament of light". Sculpture "Paratura" of light is the one that the arrangement of color with colorful lamps was given to wooden arch structure of variety of design styles, and the work to which a three-dimensional art space was created by the design.
