This 3-meter-tall sculpture, crafted from mirror-polished stainless steel, embodies the beauty of symmetry and the profound impact of perspective. Composed of two identical forms—one the mirror image of the other—the sculpture's appearance shifts dramatically depending on the viewer's angle. From some viewpoints, the two forms seem distinct; from another, they reveal themselves as perfect reflections of each other.

 

"Reflections of Reality" invites you to walk around and explore the sculpture from all sides. As you do, you'll uncover its true nature—a reminder that what we perceive from a single vantage point is often just a shadow of the full picture. This exploration extends beyond the sculpture, encouraging us to apply the same curiosity to everything we encounter in life. By viewing things from multiple perspectives, we can discover the hidden harmony and deeper truths that symmetry brings to our world.

 

About the Artist:
Anton Bakker, the artist behind this piece, draws inspiration from the intersection of geometry, philosophy, and art. His work is influenced by the rich tradition of geometric patterns found in Middle Eastern art and architecture—where intricate designs and symmetrical forms have symbolized the infinite and the divine for centuries. Through sculptures like "Reflections of Reality," exhibited here in Dubai, Anton Bakker honors this legacy and invites viewers to explore the deep connections between geometry, symmetry, and the world around us. His work challenges us to see beyond the surface, discovering the underlying order and harmony that geometry reveals in all aspects of life.
