Event Details

Embrace is a verb. To hold. To accept. To include or contain. Step inside the circle of this interactive installation and actively embrace the joy of human connection.

Taking inspiration from children’s paper chains, a circle of life-sized silhouettes responds to human touch. Stand between the figures, reach out and touch the silhouettes on either side and watch as a ripple of light radiates around the circle.

When the circle is complete, with each figure connected through human touch, a striking light pattern is triggered – an illuminating reminder of the beauty of fleeting connections, and the power of community.
