Mia Pearlman’s “Soar” (2016) at 80 St (A) station in Queens, uses curving, perforated metal panels to reflect and project patterns of air movement onto the pathway of commuters. Inspired by the feeling of closeness to the sky while standing on the elevated platform, the work draws upon the forms of weather currents and clouds. The gleaming steel panels were translated from the artist’s delicate papercut sculptures depicting the beauty of the natural phenomena.

Pearlman is currently featured in “Paper Cuts” at Elza Kayal Gallery, alongside three other artists exploring the expressive qualities of the craft technique. On view through October 7.
