Incredible photo. I love the light, the geometry of the structure. It looks like walking through it would take you to another dimension of time and space!

Beautiful post and informative – Sculpture has been a means of human expression since prehistoric times. The ancient cultures of Egypt and Mesopotamia produced an enormous number of sculptural masterworks, frequently monolithic, that had ritual significance beyond aesthetic considerations.

Thanks, Mihran. Sculptures are quite a means to express a human’s vision of art and significance.

I love the light in this!

The light in this lobby/atrium-like setting is great, especially with the hanging “twinkly” strands of light behind the sculpture. Thanks!

Oh wow, that is striking! I’m guessing it wasn’t easy to capture the light and color of such a wild reflective sculpture.

Thanks, Jann. Somehow or another the light in that huge lobby atrium worked very well, and from where I finally positioned myself, the shadows from the lights was perfect.

Thanks, Amy. I’ve taken so many photos of that sculpture over the years with no satisfaction. A couple of weeks ago I stopped in to use the Ladies Room before heading out into the City, and gave it another try. Finally got something I liked.

The patterns of the sculpture are not easy to capture, I know. You got it! 🙂

Super shot, Angeline. I know what you mean about taking a photo of just a part. Sometimes you simply can’t do justice to an entire “thing.” But a part of it can be magical, as here.

Wonderful shot of that sculpture.
I recall that the Eastridge Mall in San Jose has a similar work, perhaps by the same artist. It may offer you yet another perspective.

Thanks! My husband recently started working in San Jose; I’ll have to go in with him one day and check Eastridge out.

I was curious and looked online. That sculpture may have been moved to Great America in Santa Clara. It’s at least near to San Jose.

Thanks for checking! I doubt if I would ever go to Great America, unless a grandchild insisted 🙂
