Outdoor sculptures designed to be viewed in calimas—hazy, atmospheric conditions—create a mesmerizing interplay of light and form. Among the most famous is Eduardo Chillida's *Peine del Viento (Wind Comb)* in San Sebastián, Spain, where steel claws emerge from rocky cliffs, blending with the misty sea air. Another iconic piece is Richard Serra's *East-West/West-East* in Qatar's desert, where towering steel plates appear to dissolve into the heat haze.
Anish Kapoor's *Cloud Gate* in Chicago, though not in a desert, reflects the sky in a way that mimics calimas' dreamlike quality. Meanwhile, James Turrell's *Roden Crater*, an earthwork in Arizona, transforms under dusty skies into a celestial observatory. These sculptures redefine perception, proving that art thrives in nature's most ephemeral moments.
