About
Disco Mushroom is a merry-go-round sculpture built from recycled wooden spools and wrapped in more than 100,000 mirrored disco tiles that shimmer and scatter light in every direction. A red polka-dot canopy blooms overhead, creating a shaded space with seating beneath it. By day, thousands of tiny mirrors reflect the sky, dust, and passing faces in sparkling fragments. By night, color-shifting lights transform it into a glowing, spinning constellation. Disco Mushroom celebrates reflection, play, and the strange beauty of small moments shining together.
