You are the Light of the World

Stained glass windows
This site-specific installation of colorful glass windows honors the light and all the colors reflected through it. With mosaic-like patterns across the glass, the shapes and colors suggest diversity, joy and an endless depth of who we are and the land we live upon. A series of bold and colorful polygon shapes come together to reveal the sun’s rays surrounding Bishop O’Dowd Highschool. Designed to encourage playfulness and movement, this piece creates a colorful environment as the sun’s rays cast light on the stairwell within.
