DescriptionThe foundation of this artwork is a vertically oriented metal structure composed of two parts: the base is a rectangle with a subtle downward slope, from which a larger geometric pillar rises. Atop this pillar sits a well-polished piece of steel, shaped into a three-dimensional isosceles triangle with a perfectly round piece of red glass sitting within a round niche in the metal that imitates a jewel.
