This artwork by Col Henry entitled Reflexio Qualis is located across three sites in central Sunshine. The sculptures at each site are comprised of a starlike base that supports large tendril-like uprights from each tip of the star. On top of each tendril is a mirror polished dome. The mirror polished finish of the stainless steel elements literally reflect the diverse community of Sunshine. The curved and the mirror polished stainless steel literally reflects distorts and warps the reflections.
