The “Window to the Heart” is made of Fresnel lens with a 12-foot-diameter, which is envisioned as the “world’s largest lens.” If people face to the center of the sculpture, they will capture the image of the square within the heart-shaped window, reflecting the colorful lights around the lens. /VCG Photo
