This artwork is composed of four elements which demarcate and frame a cubic space; each is formed of two plates of polished, reflective steel which intersect at a 90 degree angle. They are 183 cm high, a measurement taken from Le Corbusier’s Modulor. The visitor may enter into the cubic space, a mise en abyme created by the gleaming surfaces of the piece. As an open air installation, the work also reflects its surroundings, to the extent that it seems to disappear completely into them.
