  • Manuel Neri based the forms and material of this artwork on ancient Greek and Roman monuments. The marlbe sculpture appears to have been eroded and fragmented by weather and time. Two figures face each other on the west side of the sculpture. Their relationship to each other is purposefully enigmatic. The east side of the sculpture features a solitary female figure. The English translation of the artwork's Spanish title is "Window to the Pacific."
