DescriptionThis artwork is a solid sculpture made of glass, cast in two separate parts that are meant to be placed on a single axis, set closely together but with a gap between the two. The glass color ranges from colorless to shades of green. The surface is rough in many places with areas of smooth polish; one side of the sculpture is more polished than the other and should be considered the back of the artwork.
