Atomic

Atomic was part of Georgetown GLOW, an annual light art festival, and was on display between December, 2019 and January, 2020. The project is an ode to the tiny particles that shape our universe, filling an otherwise infinite vacuum with the endless diversity manifested by energy, gravity, and light. Suspended from a tree grove on the lawn of Grace Church, the project’s multi-hued facets make a contextual connection with stained-glass windows. Consisting of hula hoops and fishnet fabric, the colorful disks also bear a strong resemblance to a bokeh effect, a phenomena that occurs when points of light are photographed out of focus.

Many thanks to the engineers at Arup who collaborated with us on this project.
