Installation view of Kelly Akashi's Monument (Altadena) (2026) at the Whitney Biennial 2026. A translucent glass sculpture resembling a stepped chimney or architectural tower stands on the Whitney Museum's outdoor terrace. Made of stacked glass blocks, the structure rises from a broad base into a tall vertical form. A winding path of glass pavers extends from the foreground toward the sculpture, suggesting a walkway or stream. The work is set against a backdrop of low-rise buildings and the Manhattan skyline beneath a pale blue sky.

Abstract shapes in varied shades of blue with a few pale pink areas create a structured vertical pattern across a mottled gray background, alternatively seeming to cohere into a row of flowers or a printer’s text, then setting back into decorative geometries that evoke eastern architectural patterns.

Multiple images in bright red, blue, yellow, and green interact and overlap giving the illusion of a collage or of prints, posters, drawings and objects tacked, pinned, taped, or hung on a wall or balanced on a shelf. The left half of the background is patterned hashmarks, and the title and artist’s name are stenciled across the top.

A full-length super-realist portrait of a man with dark skin, black shoes, and an all-white outfit. He leans back with a slight swagger, hands relaxed behind his back, a toothpick hanging from his lips, and an intricate scene reflected in his large wire-rimmed sunglasses.
