Mirage on the Mirror
”Mirage on the mirror” is a lamp which is visible but not touchable.
Mirage in the desert is an aurora and rainbow in the sky that are marvelous phenomena in nature. However, reflection and shadow, even they are also visible but not touchable. They are easily ignored because they are easily found. I took this underestimated phenomenon, reflection, to transform a mysterious phenomenon.

“Mirage on the mirror” creates one more illusion. There is a big hole in “Mirage on the mirror”, that big hole makes people confuse if it is a blocked surface, but actually, it simply reflects everything on the floor in reverse.
Red line indicates a 3D illusion
I used the principle of reflection from two spherical mirrors to create a 3D illusion inside of the lamp. So, outside, you can see just the lamp shape, but upon a closer look, you can find illusion in the air which looks the same with lamp bulb inside.
