An installation by Eddie Farr inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a symphony of light and movement, drawing inspiration from nature's elegance and the festive spirit of the winter season.
Installed along the central path of Woodruff Park, the work features towering conical sculptures that spiral upwards, evoking the dynamic sway of pine trees in a gust of wind. Warm, glowing tones radiate from within each structure, creating an interplay between light and form that echoes both organic rhythms and technological precision.
As visitors stroll through the park with these glowing sculptures, RADIANT offers a moment of reflection—an opportunity to connect with the beauty of seasonal transitions and the timeless joy that accompanies shared spaces of light.
