When I step out of the cab at Broadway and Stone, I slip off my tinted aviators in an attempt to ground myself in reality and am instantly blinded by a sparklestorm of dazzling light. The scene shatters into a kaleidoscope of sunspot confetti and I recognize the source of these optical fireworks as a mosaic of mirror shards arranged into letters across a low wall.
