Public art installation that is suspended above the Arizona Canal in Scottsdale Arizona. Made from 50,000 colourful ripstop nylon streams attached to monofilament, this lightweight kinetic sculpture harnesses wind currents to rise and fall dramatically. On display from Nov. 17, 2017 to March 5, 2018.
