It’s amazing the kind of emotions and entertainment a good lights show can provide. Manipulation of optical phenomena has  been employed by artists since the invention of the first mirror, however a really dazzling display can be quite rare. Just recently, I managed to come across one of the most amazing display of art I’ve been granted to see – “Parmenides I” by artist Dev Harlan.  This large sculpture of luminosity and hues plays with geometrical shapes to create a piece that resembles a larger-than-life diamond of movements and shine.

The 8-foot diameter installation might seem fairly simple at first, but stick with it and you’ll soon be initiated in a mesmerizing show of lights, shapes, colors and rythm.
