Tributary

This monument embodies the true essence and intersection between students, faculty, and staff collaborating in solidarity. During the day Tributary stands as soft, organic, and voluminous in contrast to the layered shapes that appear as vertical steps, representing our collective journey. As the sun sets each day, interior illumination offers a nuanced light show of color traversing the facets of each form. The pulsing of the work intends to reflect the rhythms of breath and heartbeats from rest to exhilaration.
