Did You Know?

The title of this work translates to curved panels with two pigeons.
A vertically oriented, roughly rectangular panel of molded glass with a mirrored back features three columns of organic grooves and bulging oval forms. The silvery surface creates an undulating texture accented by mottled gray patches in the recesses. The panel tapers from its flat top toward a curved base, emphasizing a rhythmic composition of shimmering, metallic-looking shapes across the vertical surface.
