I'm with Raf256... I like this one too. The sense of it dissolving yet
holding together, and the piece somehow cleanly removed while also looking
torn away. Only thing I didn't think at first was how the other cube might
be the missing corner section. I considered that to be a second whole or
partial cube in the background, so something about it didn't lead me to
believe it was falling away. I'd have thought them to be eventually
converging instead. Of course, you never said what it was doing anyhow.

It's a great 'conversation piece' type of rendering.

It was obvious that it was not a cube but a collection of spheres placed 
along a spherical pattern. At least, it was obvious for me in the first 
post...
