Shine Your Colours

Glass Installation

A large-scale multifaceted artwork that allows visitors to see themselves and the world through windows and against walls of different colours and to become part of it through play, socialising and personal reflection. It transformed Canary Wharf in London into a tranquil and vibrant experience.

I just wanted to say thank you for creating uplifting artwork for our local area. It cheers us up Dockside. It is very beautiful. I have been busy chilling out there, eating my sandwich, listening to music exercising by your sculpture and taking pics of it at different times of day for quite a long time. I love how it colours the London skyline too."Lighting Designer Sophie Hoyalt

Shine Your Colours celebrates people; visitors will see themselves and their friends in colour. The entire environment invites people to take photos of themselves and their friends to share on social media. The installation deliberately plays into contemporary social media and photographic play as a means of communication.

The work creates a space for colour immersion and playful experiences—a place where different generations can come together, friends can meet up, and people can reflect and relax while watching the colours change in the sun.

Your work has really made a difference to me as art helped me through the pandemic. Shine Your Colours is my favourite local place to sit and chill out."
