Houston, Texas
Mirror, a site-specific installation by renowned international artist Jaume Plensa, was recently installed on the campus of Rice University, Houston, Texas. “Mirror” features two 10-foot-tall human figures positioned in conversation with one another. Up close, their physical forms are an intermingling of white coated marine steel letters from many alphabets. Viewers are provided with an entry point to each figure, where they can physically walk inside the sculpture. Plensa was inspired to create “Mirror” after visiting the campus and observing students convening under the oak trees, in similar spaces to where his installation will now live.

With this sleet we’ve been having here in North Austin, I was reminded of this shot I took almost exactly a year ago today, except it was snowing then. Must be global warming. Anyways, this is a rare sight around here, seeing this iconic symbol of Texas in snow. Thanks for looking!
