Huge branches twist, intertwine, and touch the sky, branching out into massive nebulas, spinning orbs of fire nested in copper cradles. Orbs spinning slow or fast, creating variable fire effects, from spinning candles, to bright blue solid balls. Below you, the ground is covered in a giant pool of light, made from millions of twinkling stars shining outwards. The pool creates an aura around the sculpture and bathing those below in a cool glow. To approach this work of art in the night may make you feel as if you‰Ûªre moving on a space ship towards a small galaxy spinning in the inky blackness of space. The orbs on its branches twinkle like clusters of stars in the sky. 2013 Honoraria
