This illuminated sculpture emits a soft color-changing glow. The form draws inspiration from Calgary’s unique Chinook arch weather phenomenon which periodically blankets the sky, combined with industrial space frame technology. Touch-sensitive lighting components invite physical and social interaction, giving the sculpture an evolving nature as a living organism.
