Shimmering Reflections: Exploring Sanford Biggers’ Unsui at Desert X

In our latest stop at Desert X, we explore Unsui (Mirror) by artist Sanford Biggers. This 30-foot-tall, sequin-covered sculpture shimmers with the wind and sunlight, symbolizing transformation and continuity. Inspired by the Japanese term for "clouds and water," Unsui also draws from 60's pop art, creating a playful and thought-provoking experience. Visitors share their perspectives, including an architect’s appreciation for the work’s structural elements.
