Overview

A pixelated terrain and mirrored surfaces capture disconnected moments in the urban environment. One hundred mirrors reflect a range of occasions in space and time; a plane overhead, pedestrians on the sidewalk, or a bus on its daily route. The artwork is created from thousands of uniquely folded and painted aluminum panels using a formative process similar to origami. The powder-coated aluminum relief sculpture is mounted on two sections of the building facade at 1717 Webster Street.

Goals

Architectural integration of a pixelated terrain and mirrored surfaces capture disconnected moments in the urban environment.
