Mirage II , one of 42 pieces of public art in The Woodlands, has been moved to the median of Lake Woodlands Drive, just east of Lake Woodlands Bridge. The 4,000-pound, 10-foot tall sculpture was created by Ben Woitena and originally installed in 1995 in the median at Research Forest Drive just west of Gosling Road. The piece has also been restored to its original colors of orange and cream by the artist.
