Convenience Drawing: One plane of horizontal stripes drawn in perspective and arced to the right (or, where does it lead?)

I wanted the space inside the window to feel like it was bending to the right so extremely that people would want to push through the glass to see something beyond the right edge of the window. I wanted to have people pressed up to the glass trying to access the space behind the glass.

I don’t think this happened to the extreme I had imagined. Nonetheless, the drawing had a beautiful presence at dusk. The stripes would glow and invite the eye and the imagination into the space.
