A glass and granite sculpture consists of an asymmetrical triangular frame of polished dark stone with blue iridescent flecks. The highest point sits toward the left, creating a long slope down to the right. The frame encloses nested glass layers bordered by thin tan and dark blue lines. At the center, a mirrored opening is etched with horizontal and v-shaped lines, creating the appearance of receding space within the object.
