Artist Quote	“We propose to cover a penguin in broken and hand-cut silver and colored mirrors, including convex mirrors. The base will be painted with silver metallic paint and part will be covered in hand-cut mirrors. The penguin will become interactive and constantly changing depending upon what is being reflected in the many mirrors coverings its surface. For instance, if placed outside in downtown Youngstown, images of the city, the viewers, the weather, the changing light of day and night, various colors, etc., will all be constantly in flux. No matter where the penguin is placed, it will reflect the pride of our city and the pride of our people.”
