5-sided, not soldered yet

Hi every one! Yeah so this project has been delayed a little bit since a lot of things are taking place recently. This piece particularly is based on the prototype mentioned in the last, last article. The two tube-like pieces on the side are NOT SOLDERED since I don't know what I really want for this piece yet (also the piece in the front is probably not going to be that big). Plus there is very likely going to be a third piece of tube to make the piece more balance and to activate the space more.
So one decision I'm trying to make is whether or not I should leave the color like that when it's oxidized (indicated in the picture) or that when it's polished. They give very distinct feelings and I'm deciding whether one will work better than the other.

4-sided, oxidized

The original plan was to polish every thing, and paint the entire internal space red (and maybe adding string?), making the piece modern-looking. The thing is that the original design did not have the patterns on the sides, which now make it less industrial. I'd probably solder the last part of the cube first and then decided which one is more sculptural at last.

another view, polished

Any suggestion?
