Event Details

Artist:
Skunk Control: Nick Athanasiou (Australia)

In lingering dark times, hope sometimes falters. Lining the edge of Walsh Bay, colourful beacons fend off darkness by seeding optimism and casting 'enlightenment' on all around them. 

The illuminated petals of these giant kinetic flowers create a canopy of colour that spills across the landscape and onto passers-by. Weave amongst them and marvel as the petals mechanically unfurl, revealing a vibrant internal ecosystem. Together, they evoke the luminous ever-evolving wonder of the natural world, reminding us to free our imaginations and let light in.
