A Mirror on Infinity
Some projects carry obvious prestige, and this is one of them:  The pair of reflecting pools and the sculpture that rises above them stand in front of AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas - home to the Dallas Cowboys and, several times a year, host to nationally televised football games.
