Reflected Models by Takahiro Iwasaki

Born in Hiroshima in 1975, Takahiro Iwasaki is a Japanese artist and sculptor. He creates detailed models of temples; he also creates a mirror-image model of the same temple. When seen together, the illusion of a temple reflected in water is created. Suspending the models intensifies this illusion. 

The temples depicted in the images above are: Omnipresence’Phoenix, Omnipresence/Gold, Itsukushima, Perfect Bliss, and Lapis Lazuli.
