This sculpture is a hollow form made from 304 or 316 stainless steel, finished in mirror polish to reflect the surrounding environment. The listed size is custom size, and like nearly every piece in the catalogue, it is made to any diameter or height on request. It is intended to stand in grass, paving, or a courtyard, where its polished surface captures light, sky, and movement.

Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| A painted steel sculpture | Painted steel requires maintenance and repainting over time; stainless steel holds its finish permanently, which is why it is preferred for permanent public art |
|---|---|
| A bronze sculpture | Bronze develops a patina over time, which may not suit a modern, reflective aesthetic; stainless steel maintains a consistent, clean surface |
| A fiberglass sculpture | Fiberglass is lighter and cheaper at large sizes but cannot be polished to a mirror finish and is less durable in outdoor conditions |
| A corten steel sculpture | Corten steel is chosen for its weathered, evolving surface; this piece is chosen for its consistent, reflective finish that does not change |
Use Guide
Fitting and Running It
- Set the sculpture where it has a clear view of sky, grass, or a building facade to maximize reflection
- Plan for a foundation and fixing detail sized for wind load, especially at larger heights
- Specify 316 stainless steel if the site is near the coast or experiences winter de-icing
- Clean the mirror surface with water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasives that damage the polish
- Allow 25 to 30 days for production, plus 15 to 20 days for transport, when scheduling the installation
- Send a reference image or drawing with the desired height and placement to ensure accuracy
