Luminous Petal

Monumental Illuminated Outdoor Sculpture

A landmark-scale illuminated form that reads as architecture by day and becomes a soft, glowing beacon at night. Layered, petal-like planes of bronze-toned metal frame translucent panels that diffuse warm internal light, creating deep overlapping contours and a quiet sense of organic movement.

Designed for permanence in public and institutional settings, the sculpture combines structural presence with a luminous quality that transforms plazas, courtyards, and entry sequences after dark.
