Week 8: Perception

When I think about depth, I automatically think about depth perception.  After taking several, I chose this picture because I love the play on perception.  It was taken from the 3rd floor of the CAC, looking down onto the walkway.  There is a feeling of depth, like the people below are deep in the sea, or at the bottom of a fish tank.  I love that there is a reflection of people walking in the window as well.  The window is on my level, and though it is virtually two dimensional, you can see deep into it as if it was three dimensional.  The viewer's perception is altered due to the reflection of light into the clear window, almost making it appear like a mirror.  But the color in the window is a much darker reflection, which to me plays to its falseness.  I think that reflections, mirrors, and windows/glass are things that I would love to explore with lighting, and can be powerful tools to a lighting designer.
