"Melting Mirrors" by MetaCaustics is a multi-layered video installation, featuring digitally manipulated slow-motion video of the flow and movement of the surface of Waller Creek as part of the 2023 Creek Show in Austin, TX.

The installation features multiple parallel screens of translucent fabric as staggered surfaces for the video content, allowing the projected light to pass through each layer to the next and simulating slices of a holographic cone for viewers as they pass by. This 3-dimensional experience facilitates viewing depth above and beneath the creek’s surface through the interplay of water with light.
