This major site-specific sculpture has been commissioned for the new Comcast Technology Center building, designed by Foster + Partners, in Philadelphia, USA. 

The artist’s largest Paradigm work to date, at 18m tall, occupies the lobby of the building, its complex mirrored surfaces enhancing the visitor’s experience of the surrounding architecture.
