the effects of light (rough, smooth, polished, etc)• Can create patterns as well (Light vs shadow)

Tinted but transparent glass; appears darker where it visually overlaps
Allows us to judge where the panels lie in space and how they are situated in relation to one another
Hanging planes
Shadows cast on the wall due to light
The flat planes of this structure and how the light hits them creates and entire new dimension to the sculpture (shadows)
