Whitney Museum? Was the first thought in my head when I first heard about the extra credit opportunity announced in class.

Kate was baffled for a moment, “Why?” she asked. “Penelope sat in a cafe across for the museum and met with a precious stone and material…

This sculpture is composed entirely of a series of sets of four vertical metal beams, connected horizontally by shorter beams, along the museum passageways in the fashion of a ramp. Corresponding structures on opposite sides of the passages converge near the ceiling at an acute angle, creating what appears to be the perimeter of a triangle without a base, when viewing from the mouth of the artwork.
