* big
collection of abstract colored aluminum fins
* inscription:
Based on the concept of iridescence, this piece was
uniquely designed for the main entrance of Fashion
District. One of the most well-known examples of this
magical light effect is Antoni Gaudi's Casa Batllo tiled
roof. "Just as the scales of a fish absorb different
wavelengths of light to produce a shimmering effect,
our piece uses a series of aluminum fins at varying
color and reflectivity to produce a large lenticular
surface that changes depending on the angle of view.
