An elevation view of a model of a bridge possessing a sweeping gestural curved area that extends across the entire model with thick spirals at each end curling downward. An extension projects outward with two additional curved areas and a texture of ovals in a grid integrated in between.The model is fabricated from plastic and painted silver. A white scale model of a human stands on the walkway on the right of center and the front curve rises to the model’s hips, quite low. The person stands in front of a curved area that is not as long as the first one. This structure appears to be the other wall of the bridge.

This monochrome black chair is made of repeated, geometric cut outs and abstract 3-D shapes. The shapes are ovular with a curved star in the middle, with the star varying in thickness and gradation in the middle. The geometric shapes and material are tightly molded together in various overlapping sequences, making the repeated elements form one continuous chair shape. The chair sits on the floor as one unit without legs.

Stylized infographic of a timeline on a large black wall. The wall is illuminated by lights out of the frame. The bottom of the black wall is illuminated by base lights which also lights up the wooden floors. On the x-axis, a band illustrated by fine forward-slanting diagonal lines is labeled “INDUSTRIAL.” About 3/4 into the frame, the band crisscross with another band made up of opposite slanting lines labeled “DIGITAL.” On the section where these bands meet, a vertical gradient band highlights the area. Six lines with arrows on each end are on top of these bands. The lines are labeled '60 YEARS', '55 YEARS', '50 YEARS', '40 YEARS', '30 YEARS', and '27 YEARS'. Different sized blocks are illustrated on the '50 YEARS' label. The arrangement of the blocks appears like an abstract city skyline. Various lines are on the graph with different labeled points. Most appear very small on the image and are not decipherable based on the image available alone. One line appears bolder than the others and it is sloping upwards from the start of the graph on the left moving to the right. Various types of lines are present - dotted, concave up and down, spiral, segments, oscillating, and waves are some of the types that appear.
