compenetrazione
the context is that of a certain number of elements inserted by the artist in his works which reveal the strong connection between the visible and the invisible layers of perception
I don't like the words interpenetration, permeation or mutual penetration.
I was thinking about interwave.
Any other idea?
Thanks

blend into each other
Really need to see the paintings. One alternative I thought of is telescoping. Do you see objects inserted into other objects or mists, blending into each other and things fading away?
Reminds me of a certain artist I know who is obsessed with visible, the invisible etc.
