INCREDIBLE MIRRORED SCULPTURES BY ARTIST BENISTY SHOWCASES DIFFERENT HUMAN CONNECTIONS
Artist Michael Benisty makes powerful sculptures that explore human connection using mirror-polished stainless steel. Awe and wonder are evoked by his work, which is frequently made for festivals like Burning Man before being turned into permanent installations. Benisty's media choice draws viewers in, in addition to producing an eye-catching effect. Benisty explains the significance of his use of mirror-polished steel in a recent interview with Aurora Highlands, a master-planned community in Colorado that has purchased a number of his sculptures.
He says, "It's lovely, first of all because it reflects everything around it." "You're not just experiencing what you feel when you view them from a distance; as you come closer, your own reflection begins to show more. It also becomes more personal, in my opinion, the closer you get to them.
Liberty is one of the more recent notable pieces. The intriguing figure in this sinewy, 55-foot-tall sculpture is holding up her trademark torch. In this instance, her mirrored surface can reflect our own aspirations. Currently on display at Aurora Highlands, the work is one of several that adorn this neighbourhood.
A simple handshake or embrace serves as a unifying element in sculptures such as Broken 3.0 and In Every Lifetime I Will Find You. These intensely felt pieces serve as a reminder of the value of interpersonal relationships.
