A latticework of iridescent color and light
How do you portray space? One possible answer now hangs from the ceiling of the Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge.
The new sculpture, artist Alyson Shotz's vision of the skeletal structure of emptiness, was commissioned by the School of Medicine to honor former dean Philip Pizzo, MD.
