This photo composite draws from multiple captures of a concave stainless steel mirror installed in an urban park. The mirror’s curvature distorts the reflected landscape into a swirling, dreamlike abstraction, while the corroded surface of the steel adds a gritty, weathered texture. After digital manipulations, the result is an impressionist scene that conveys a compelling interplay of natural beauty and decay, where the familiar is warped and fractured into something more elusive and atmospheric—like a mirage.
