From within the enclosure, the color of the glass established a sense of spatial definition, while its semi-reflective surfaces created surprising perceptual readings. This is because of the 60 degree angle of glass corner intersections, the always changing conditions of daylight and seasons as well as the position of trees within and outside the enclosure. From outside the enclosure, the installation had a rather anomalous object quality, insofar as its form was physically understood, all the while reflecting its context of trees and visitors off of itself. It also acted as a receptor for the intensely figural shadows cast by the trees.
