The Vessel, an artwork of infinite circular staircases, seen from the nearby shopping center. The stairs may no longer be walked on but still offer an amazing sight.
In the photo, you can see the sun shining through the openings an the stairs, and the people at the bottom of the photo reflect the incredible size of the stairs.
The many shapes with angled lines give a chaotic look to the whole which is calmly held by the grid of the framework.
An ideal work to hang at any size in the living room or in a general public space.
