Glass and steel set down in a courtyard that had held only stone for four centuries. I. M. Pei's pyramid opened to the public in 1989. It was controversial then and beloved now. Twenty-one metres high, square at the base, sharp at the apex. The light comes down through it into the lobby; people queue beneath it, by it, in its reflection in the fountains. The old palace stands on all four sides. The Mona Lisa is downstairs. The line the geometry makes against the Renaissance facades is the photograph everyone takes, and it works every time.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
