Reflection - an art project by Tom Sweeney - Burning Man 2022

Reflection is an art installation composed of 12 acrylic panels and 90 wood panels. Each panel is 14″ x 14″. The design is a complex rosette consisting of 12-point, 8-point and 5-point stars in the tradition of Islamic Geometry. The beauty of the pattern is as relevant today as it was when it was created over 500 years ago. By connecting circles and lines, we arrive at an inviting and intimate space to reflect upon the past, the present, and the future. Located directly along the Esplanade, the space will be available to individuals and small groups alike.

Reflection - 4 panels
