The movement and an act of the water and the sound of waves has a great effect on our body and our soul. It keeps us peaceful and relaxed. An American artist, Phillip K. Smith explores the perceptions of light, space and color, he finds a perfect place to do it and makes sure it works just as he has imagined.

There had been some concerns that these mirror poles might be dangerous to birds, but it was only displayed a few days back in November. Phillip K. Smith installed nearly 250 mirrored posts on a coast of Laguna Beach in California, why? Keep scrolling to read the full story. More info: pks3.com

They reflect the waves instead of being ‘swallowed’ by their force.

The reflective poles stand 10ft and they have been made out of stainless steel. They were placed to specifically mark the curve of the beach just beyond the high tide line.
