Fabric and resin sculptures

with phosphorescent powders

Skyhive seems to float in the lofty Atrium space. Enveloping yet weightless in feeling, layers of biophilic elements evoking mushroom caps or perhaps abalone shells create a contextually ambiguous hive-shaped canopy that fills the Atrium. When viewed from below, the structure metamorphoses into a mandala, inviting new ways of seeing.

By night, the phosphorescent charged resins create a luminous glow.
