Description
This abstract scene captures the ceiling structure at the west wing of the National Gallery designed by architect I.M. Pei. The cast-in-place concrete form was poured in a triangular pattern, allowing the weight of the slab to be reduced while still maintaining a high structural integrity. The warm and cool tones are a combined mixture of indirect light from outside and light being reflected from the sculptural pieces below. Photograph was taken in Washington D.C.
