NORA MIRAGE, 2024

Sardinia, Italy
Reflective aluminum
11 Volumes, Each volume: 20’-0” high x 10’-0” diameter, 6 m x 3 m

Commissioned by Dolce&Gabbana for the 2024 Alta Moda event, Nora Mirage reveals itself as a lucid dream - seemingly real and unreal at the same time.  The eleven tilted monoliths abstractly present the beauty of the Sardinian environment across its reflective surface – lifting the Mediterranean Sea, pulling down the Sardinian sky, tilting the horizon and collaging the ruins and history of Nora.  The installation collects and bends the changing light of the day, appearing at times to be constructed entirely of blue sky, clouds, water, and land.  Contrasting against Nora’s horizontal layers of empires built on top of empires, Nora Mirage rises vertically, reaching to the sky - crisp and exact, yet organic and always changing.  With no apparent context able to define the scale of the artwork, only the human form provides clarity of its immensity.  As people engage with Nora Mirage, their reflections glimmer across the sculpture’s faceted surface, weaving human movement with vertical bands of nature.
