Interestingly, the abundance of water and the absence of water create very similar shapes (i.e. coral and cacti, sea urchins and succulents.) My mirage flower incorporates these arid/aquatic forms and gives them a shape-shifting spin. The undulating petals mimic the movement of flowing water. Their color mirrors water’s ability to reflect the changing sky. As the daylight transitions, the color and texture of the flower transform as well. At sunset, a special light show version of the flower celebrates the arrival of night.
