Mirage
Raff, Paul

Description
This installation of 57 octagonal mirror-polished stainless steel shapes applied to the underside of the Richmond/Adelaide overpasses draws inspiration from a mirage: an optical illusion created by atmospheric conditions. Each of the panels is slightly different in size and spacing to create a subtle sense of movement as their mirror polished surfaces bounce light around the space.
Commissioned by: Waterfront Toronto
