Summary:
The design of this abstract sculpture was influenced by the Mayan culture and the temples of Guatemala in particular. On the far edge of an open field, ten concrete pyramids line each side of an opening that contains a pool of water. Resting on top of the pyramids is a steel lintel, which holds four additional concrete pyramids. Light streams through openings and is reflected in the pool below.
