## **Eight walls where color seems to switch on.** A pomegranate glows in Houston, reflected branches cross a portrait in Lommel, a sunset opens across a Melbourne tower, and a forge fills a Spanish façade with sparks. These eight works use contrast, shadow, reflection, and painted glare to make flat surfaces feel lit from within.

The pomegranate is the brightest point; its warm reflection travels across Persephone’s hand, hair, and shoulder before the full scale of the building registers. 🔗 Follow **Vizsla Bacon** on Instagram · 📷 Photo by Derek * * * ### 💡 (fos) — By Susana Piquer, Eleni Karpatsi, and Julio Calvo in Madrid, Spain 🇪🇸 At Rayen restaurant, the team used more than 250 metres of yellow tape, painted objects, pineapples, and a lamp to turn the corner into a false beam of light.

Garson’s small bunny mark appears inside the image rather than beside it, working as a recurring signature. 🔗 Follow **Paul Garson** on Instagram
