I was in Montreal a few weeks ago and stayed in a hotel that used to be an old apartment building. I walked out on the balcony and found this beautiful cement sculpture. Every apartment on every floor has this great design separating each outside living area. I am very fond of aesthetically pleasing sculptures. The way the square pattern is stacked on top of each other to form circles makes cement look beautiful. The monotone weight of the lines coupled with the thick outlines of the boxes is a wonderful combination. Instead of having a slab of dirty, ugly cement on either side of your balcony, the wall is open enough to socialize and still closed enough to have your privacy. And the pattern can be your own magic eye picture... look at it long enough and you will see a pile of pipes, crosses, a stain glass window, flowers, butterflies...
