Previous displayed on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the steel and acrylic structure is transparent and reflective and draws from natural forms such as clouds, bubbles and neural communication networks.
Visitors will be able to walk inside the piece but it will only be open at certain hours and will be protected by security around the clock.
