His mirrored sculpture series are one ton, life-sized cutouts of the human form, based on the artist himself or volunteers. Each piece’s reflective surface is slightly warped, creating a marbled view of the world it depicts. Installed in the woods and around Scotland, the mirrored stainless steel pieces are permanent installations.

‘I am not there,’ Photo Series by Pol Ubeda Hervas
Pol Ubeda Hervas did this great photo series in Barcelona entitled ‘I’m Not There.’
How can we accept that we are changing?
How can we accept we hardly recognize ourselves in certain situations?
I am changing at this very moment of my life.
I do not react in the same ways I used to. I am surprised. Is that me?
These pictures are the way I see myself now.
My shadow is there but I erase myself because I don´t know who I am any longer.
The shoes remain only to make sure there is something more than… a shadow.
Portraits Made of Layers of Wire Mesh by Seung Mo Park
Korean sculptor Seung Mo Park creates giant ephemeral portraits by cutting layer after layer of wire mesh. These sculptural masterpieces are part of Park’s latest series, called Maya. Each work begins with a photograph which is superimposed over layers of wire with a projector, then using a subtractive technique Park slowly snips away areas of mesh.
Maya is the third phase in a trajectory of Park’s conceptual works dealing with reality, illusion, and existence. Barely possessing materiality of sculpture, or the ideas within them, the idea and conceptualization of MAYA is far from tangible substances.
