Mirages. The idea of the monumental, utopian, and modern city is constantly debated due to its own fragility. The idealization of the city is weak and vulnerable, threatened by the rudeness of its inhabitants. Mirages is a project that interprets this unrealizable idea of the city, creating a route of buildings that seem to float unpolluted, breaking the uniformity of the sky and integrating into it like castles of glass, where contemporary society deposits the idea of unattainable perfection. These crystalline masses reflect the sky as if they were above all things, camouflaging themselves, creating a bridge between the natural and the artificial.
This artwork presents a striking, surreal vision of modern architecture, featuring a high-rise building with a glossy, mirror-like facade that reflects the surrounding sky. The minimalistic design contrasts sharply with the intricate structure perched on top, which resembles an industrial or mechanical rooftop with outdoor stairs and railings. Suspended amidst soft clouds, the building appears almost ethereal and otherworldly. The white rooftop element, distinct from the reflective structure below, adds an intriguing layer of complexity, suggesting themes of isolation and introspection. This piece challenges perceptions of urban landscapes, merging reality with imagination to provoke a sense of wonder and curiosity. The clear, blue sky provides a serene backdrop, further enhancing the building’s illusion of floating, creating a captivating dialogue between the contemporary and the surreal.
