From the artist:

Enigma…a strange architectural construct shaped like a cube balanced on one of its vertices with people walking, standing and sitting on different sides in apparent defiance of the laws of gravity. A few days before I installed Enigma a crazed driver in West Virginia attacked the sculpture with a shotgun. I decided to leave the blast texture intact to add a new layer of mystery. After all…everyone loves an enigma.
