The appeal of this source photo resides chiefly in its sense of space & scale & the simple yet striking geometric wedge shape contrasting tonally, equally starkly, with the cool, soft, snowy landscape. The grid of the metallic sheets of the structure (in fact the 'Global Seed Vault' on Spitzbergen) also recall Jasper Johns's 'Gray Numbers' & the quiet minimalism of Agnes Martin's work.
