Project Description

Inspired by the soothing movements and healing effects of water, the two-stories of walls are encased in Bendheim’s Lamberts mouth mouth-blown glass. Laminated to mirror, the glass reflects both light and the movement of the viewers as they pass by, similar to the surface of a body of water.
