Küng has created many windows and gateways. This arch shares characteristics of those works - presenting the beauty of natural stone along with evoking architectural elements of the past. By leaving the stone untouched in some places and expertly worked in others, you are invited to think about humans' ability to transform the elements of nature.

Gift of Alfred Harrison and Ingrid Lenz Harrison, 2017.
