Like much of Storey’s artwork, Compass is kinetic and interactive. The building’s front doors send a signal to a viewfinder mounted on the balcony’s guardrail.

Meanwhile, the mirror-like surfaces of the sculpture reflect its surroundings, bringing the viewer into the landscape and the landscape onto the balcony.
