The artwork behaves like a cluster of tiny architectural windows, breaking a rough, textured stucco wall into an active 5×5 grid of light and reflection. Rather than showcasing a painted image, each individual porthole is fitted with a deep-set mirror framed by a thick, earthy terracotta ring. This layout creates an incredibly clever design trick—the rough, raw warmth of the clay holds onto the wall, while the mirrors pull the outside world inward.
What makes this installation entirely unique is how it alters the vibe of an outdoor courtyard or indoor cafe. Instead of sitting quietly as a passive decoration, the 25 portals fragment the space dynamically, reflecting glimpses of passing clouds, green bamboo leaves, and the shifting patterns of the overhead brick trellis.
Medium: Mixed media installation combining hand-turned terracotta clay rims, circular reflective glass mirrors, and heavy-duty masonry anchors
Technique: Structural grid alignment; twenty-five matching circular clay portals are individual wheel-thrown or molded, fitted with inset mirrors, and flush-mounted in a strict, mathematically precise layout directly onto the wall surface
Finish: A raw, unglazed matte terracotta texture on the outer rims, sharply contrasted by the highly reflective, crisp silver-mirror glass centers
Form: A monumental 25-piece square gallery matrix arranged in 5 rows and 5 columns of floating, uniform circular ports
