This striking photograph employs a dramatic distortion effect, with horizontal streaks of light and color cutting across the composition. The image appears to be fragmented or "folded," creating an illusion of movement and displacement. Warm orange and copper tones dominate, contrasting with streaks of turquoise and white. The distortion creates a sense of digital glitch or interference, breaking up the original image into linear segments. This manipulation reinforces the title's reference to a mirage, suggesting something that appears to shift and change before the viewer's eyes. The photograph is displayed on a stark white wall between two windows, with subtle gallery lighting creating a soft glow around the black frame.
