Designed in 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic, this installation invites the visitor to remember the feeling of being in the middle of the crowd, even if alone.
This installation relies on the optical effects of the mirrored surfaces to generate an immersive experience.
The placement of mirrors facing eachother in a triangular setting creates an interdimensional portal where mirrors reflect other mirrors and make up a room with a million people.
