British artist Liz West, known for her [vivid use of colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorama) and lighting in her art work, has created an exceptional reflective art exhibit entitled 'Our Color Reflection' in the former St. John's Church.

The exhibit features hundreds of [colored circular mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflecting-diverseness) in various shapes and sizes, layered and stacked on top of each other on the floor. These elements are arranged to form a large rainbow effect. The multicolored display uses light to [reflect colors across the room](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection) and "to transform spaces." The purpose of this exhibit is to create a "heightened sensory awareness" for those in the room and the artist has certainly accomplished this.

The reflective art on display is the perfect exhibit for all ages, capable of evoking a sense of curiosity in adults and a sense of wonder in children.
