glass walls
Clear vertical partitions
Glass walls are transparent barriers—physical or metaphorical—that allow observation without access.
In architecture, literal glass walls create open, light-filled spaces while maintaining separation.
Figuratively, glass walls describe invisible obstacles that let people see opportunities they cannot reach: She could see the executive meetings through the glass walls but was never invited in.
Related to glass ceiling, but emphasizing visibility rather than vertical limitation.
