Prowling the void between matter and imagination.
The silhouette is deconstructed into a modular geometric primitive — designed in Rhino using Grasshopper for parametric control. Each triangular face is calculated to produce specific mirror angles when assembled, so that the final reflection pattern is not random but precisely composed.
The body is 3D-printed in PLA — layer by layer, face by face. The geometry is precise enough that each surface arrives flat and ready for tiling. No sanding, no correction. The digital model and the physical form are identical.
Ayeneh-Kari — the Persian art of mirror-mosaic — is applied one tile at a time. Each piece of glass mirror is hand-scored and cut to fit the triangular faces exactly. No two tiles catch the light at the same angle. The room becomes part of the sculpture.
When the final tile is set, the work is complete — but the piece is not static. Every movement in the room, every shift in light, every change of angle produces a new reflection. The sculpture is not a fixed image. It is a living fragment of its environment, made to be different every time you look.
Clean with a soft, dry cloth — never wet. Keep away from direct sunlight for extended periods to protect the adhesive. The glass mirror is fragile; treat this object as what it is: a precision craft piece, not a display ornament.
Do not place in areas of high humidity or temperature fluctuation.
Each piece ships from Leeuwarden, Netherlands, in a custom-fitted box with foam inlays cut to the sculpture's geometry. Shipping is arranged per piece.
Worldwide delivery available — contact for rates. Tracking provided for all shipments. Insurance included. Delivery in 3–5 business days (NL), 7–14 days (international).
Every Mirbreak sculpture is signed, catalogued, and comes with a certificate of authenticity confirming its edition status. The piece is designed for longevity — PLA and glass mirror do not degrade under normal indoor conditions.
If a tile is damaged in transit, contact within 7 days and it will be repaired or replaced.
Each Mirbreak sculpture is a direct conversation — if you want to inquire about this piece, request a studio viewing in Leeuwarden, or commission a new piece, send a message. If the brief is honest and the geometry is interesting, you'll hear back within a week.
