Inspired by Diego Reyes

Went larger with a steel bowl. Your tiny window square became a long curved streak around the side. I kept moving it back and forth just to watch the shape change.

Diego Reyes

Held a spoon towards the window and got an upside-down room in miniature. The window was a bright little square. Getting the spoon and the reflection both sharp took more attempts than I'd like to admit.
