Polymery

Display Year:

Polymery (pronounced pole-lim-mur-ee) featured five flower-like sculptures that transformed the surrounding space with light and shadow. During the day, their curved, mirrored surfaces reflected and warped views of the environment. After dark, the sculptures came to life, casting colorful patterns of light across the ground and inviting visitors to explore the shifting display.
