    The Mirror Cloud will be a dynamic visual magnet suspended above the intersection of 5th Avenue and 57th Street, New York City. Consider a floating, suspended structure endowed with convex mirrors. Infinitively observant, the mirrors embrace the viewer and the cityscape in all-encompassing wonder. The mirrors will reflect an infinity of perspectives, an all-encompassing mirage. The mirrors will be active, reflecting the dynamics of the moment. Never visually static, they will track and collect the vibrant city from all directions.

    Dramatic both day and night, the Cloud will be a receptor and transmitter of all ambient light and every visual nuance. Taxis will become dashes of yellow color as the swirl of pedestrians, trucks, busses and orthogonal building fenestration will create a collage of sky and city reflected from the pavement below into the air above.

    The Mirror Cloud will create a universal amplification of visual capacity, creating an expansive embrace of vision, an all-inclusive diversity of perspectives. The work will be an instrument for perception articulating observation; it will capture the essence of the moment and the synergy of the city.

    This urban intersection is metamorphosed into optical magic: a revelation reflecting both reality and infinity. The Cloud will be a device to indicate the living moment. The moment, so vital to us all, is given new meaning – the instant of our lives.
