Installation artist Christina Watka takes us behind the scenes of her latest installation, Dichotomous Air, at Etsy's Brooklyn headquarters. Created with hundreds of hand-cut pieces of mica, a pearly, naturally-sourced material, the installation acts as a reflective canopy in the building's central hallway. Read on for more on Christina's process behind the site-specific installation.

The mica is paper thin but sturdy and sculptural. Woven together in a collective form, but noticeable in individual rounded, stone-like shapes. Transparent and colorful, it is often mirror-like in its ability to reflect light.
