About This Piece

"Orbit" is a dynamic and futuristic artwork that celebrates hope, creativity, and youthful potential and imagination.

The piece acts as part sculpture and part street furniture. It draws inspiration from the vibrant colors and shapes of a shooting star streaking across the beautiful Colorado evening sky. Patrons can climb into, sit on it, and explore it, creating an immersive experience that encourages imaginative play. The structure’s reflective surface mimics the twinkling of stars, evoking a sense of wonder and optimism for all who interact with it.
