ÎLOT DE CHALEUR

“ISLAND OF WARMTH”

ABOUT THE INSTALLATION

February 18 - March 20, 2022

Island of Warmth was an interactive light installation encouraged the public to work together to keep the flames alive in the lull of colder months. Visitors kindled the “embers” as the “flames” rose, flickered and swirled in response of their movements.
