Rozin creates installations and sculptures that have the unique ability to change and respond to the presence and point of view of the viewer. The viewer becomes the contents of the piece and in others the viewer is invited to take an active role in the creation of the piece. In Wooden Mirror, he created an interactive sculpture where the wooden pixels reflect any object or person in front of it, moving fast enough to create live animation. The movements of wooden pixels produce a sound when something moves in front of the mirror. This provides a secondary feedback to the image.
