thats some cherry mortar work
I'm more impressed with the windows. Curving wood and glass can be tricky. I've seen a curved door before, but not with curved glass in it.
Despite the pixelation casting doubts on the materials, it is actually made from real, mortar, wood and glass.

I always thought I saw supports on the curves other times I saw this but never got the story that it was an art piece and never saw those up close photos.
Man there is so much little clever things going on in that to make it so perfect. It's all perfect and bent and yet has structural supports all over the place. It's even braced at the bottom to make sure it doesn't actually try to slide down.
Gorgeous art installation.
Wow that was a cool look, thanks for the link.

Looks like one of the Windows is a door way going to some stairs.
