Description
This sculptural installation, which can be viewed from either the first or second floor lobbies, presents a bird in flight attached to the ceiling, dramatically lit by an elaborate lighting mechanism that extends up from the circular cutaway in the ceiling between the first and second floors. This particular view from the first floor reveals the cutaway between the first and second floors where one can look up into it to view the bird form hanging from the ceiling above. D.
