Here is what I believe is the last masterpiece of Avigrail. May God rest his tiny soul.

1$\begingroup$ @BeastlyGerbil According to his profile... it is implied that Avigrail has passed away irl. Not entirely sure though. Would need confirmation. $\endgroup$– user64742Commented Nov 2, 2016 at 3:01

Okay well this is what I have
There are several coloured pieces. There are four of each colour and they are positioned so from a certain viewpoint they fit together. The viewpoint seems important so here they are:
Here's the one for red
And for purple
And for blue (missing tile further back and hidden)
And for pink
However
The greens are different. The four pieces don't join up, but make four squares with the greys:
1:
2:
3:
4:
To me, red looks very suspicious. Especially how it has rotational symmetry order 4.

$\begingroup$ It's also suspicious to me that the entire thing is symmetric. (Or at least, it seems to be.) Maybe something will happen if we somehow color those grey tiles that match with the greens? $\endgroup$– Deusovi ♦Commented Nov 1, 2016 at 23:46

$\begingroup$ @Deusovi yeah I agree. This must have take a lot of work! $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 2, 2016 at 7:04

$\begingroup$ @BeastlyGerbil I don't understand the "rotational symmetry of order 4" $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 2, 2016 at 14:39

1$\begingroup$ @jaydm26 it means that if you rotated it 360 degrees then it would show the same shape 4 times $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 2, 2016 at 16:34

7$\begingroup$ man, these comments read like a very climactic movie trailer.. two people standing in front of a huge mobile-like construction "did you notice that there is an uncanny symmetry here?" "yeah all those small pieces are symmetrical, so what?" "no.. i am talking about ..." the camera starts to pan out until the two protagonists are merely ants in front of a huge planetary system.. "the ENTIRE structure!..." $\endgroup$– TimmeCommented Nov 23, 2016 at 13:31
