Drombeg – Ciorcal an Droma Bhig – is a circle of stone, time, and orientation.
Seventeen sandstone blocks form a prehistoric geometry with ritual logic.
Opposite Office adds an eighteenth form: a suspended, mirrored sphere above the center of the circle.

Mirror of the Circle is a minimal, temporary intervention.
It does not touch the monument. It reflects it.
The 2.5-meter-diameter sphere, made from polished stainless steel, floats two meters above the center.
It is not an addition, but a conceptual counter-form — a present-day circle, precisely aligned above the ancient one.

An object that does nothing — but changes everything.
The sphere reflects the circle and the people within it — fragmented, distorted, multiplied.
It shows the circle as it is — and as it is not.
Every movement within the circle alters the reflection.
The sphere has no interior. It is pure surface.

Due to heritage protection, no part of the structure was allowed to touch the ground or the monument.
Only a minimal static system was approved:
a helium balloon, anchored via three carbon-fibre cables, each tensioned and fixed to discrete landscape points beyond the protected zone.
The sphere itself has no footprint.

The installation turns the circle into an optical feedback loop.
Visitors standing beneath the sphere see themselves from above — embedded within the site's geometry.
The reflection reintroduces the human body into the sacred logic of the stones, without touching them.
It links body and place, present and past, form and perception.

The effect is quiet.
The monument remains untouched.
Yet the presence of the sphere reframes the entire experience.
It isolates and amplifies what is already there.
It creates a second horizon inside the first.

The reflection is fractured.
The circle is repeated — altered through movement.
Visitors see themselves not directly, but from above, obliquely, and broken.
They become part of the image — not as subjects, but as passing distortions in a geometry older than language.
