Artist Phillip K Smith III created a stunning installation from a small, 70-year-old wooden home located in the California desert.

Smith added rectangular mirrors to the walls of the shack, making portions of the structure - dubbed Lucid Stead - seem almost transparent.

Doors and windows become illuminated and shift color as the sun sets, casting an otherworldly glow in this desolate setting.
