Tomás Saraceno (b. 1973) is renowned for his visionary projects that envision a future airborne life, inspired by the morphology of soap bubbles, spider webs, cellular structures and astronomical diagrams.

 

The sculpture is assembled from six large modular interlocking elements. A metal frame defines each plane of the geometric shape. Some of the sides have mirror sheets inserted flush with the frame, others are left empty. These partially open forms allow the viewer to look through the shapes, and see their interior structure; some show internal webs of string that appear to hold the planes in place, in a way visualizing the physical forces exerting pressure.
