The project offered both a method which facilitate great art but also a positive and playful experiences of being part of the London 2012 Games.

The light art images were created to welcome the athletes and were hung in the Olympic Village.

As well as illustrating friendship and a sense of welcome the images represent sports moments and feelings such movement, joy and endurance.
