Parabola Mundi

About

A metallic tree rises from the desert, its tubular branches tracing perfect parabolic curves toward the heavens—each arc a mathematical prayer, each junction a meeting point between earth and cosmos. At its base, an immense mirror parabola spreads across the ground like a liquid portal, reflecting sky, stars, and every soul that approaches. Burners will adorn it with light reflectors, forming a canopy of light, reflections merging between branches and roots, dissolving the illusion of separation to better reveal a communication between earth and sky. By day, the mirrored surface captures clouds and sun; by night, it holds constellations and firelight.
