The IMPATIENT OPTIMIST is located at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s branch in Seattle Washington. This sculpture is supposed to visualize the “shape of a day” and the “physical manifestation of connectedness”. The art installation at night, is very beautiful and truly a work of art.

However, during the day it has quite the opposite effect. It looks like a poorly placed suicide net.  How bad is it at the this charity? What is Bill & Melinda doing to their employees? All jokes aside, they should have thought about what the sculpture will look like during the day. I feel like they completely forgot about the other half of the day. It was a missed opportunity.
