Goals

The goals was to add everchanging color patterns to the 700 ft long distribution corridor of the Union Street / Market subway station top level. Commuters experience the tranquil light sequences by passing through the corridor or getting a glimpse of the light panels when ascending from the lower levels. The artwork provides a moment of calmness within the intense, transitory commuter environment.
