Camana Bay Reef

$169.00$5,295.00

A 75 ft high coral reef created for the Camana Bay Observation Tower in Grand Cayman, where visitors “walk” up a Cayman coral reef wall. The five story high image looks like a photograph, but is actually a finely detailed, but very tactile glass tile mosaic. To make the composite image, hundreds of closeup photos were combined to replicate the brilliant colors of the reef, and also match the architecture. Making the tower mosaic required 3 years and over 3,000,000 precisely hand-cut Italian glass tiles. These fine art prints are made from the 100 megapixel master image.
