Nice work!
I notice the many rings of the Baroq Mirror. The rings become fluid while counting the number of rings in the mirror! How many rings ARE there?
Is the VESTAL named for the gospel singer? If so, she would be honored by the open tiered exquiste design that also includes the trinity (backboard)
Fabulicious!
