The sculpture is located within an 11m x 8.5m domed ceiling; each of the 32 decorative panels is perfectly integrated and aligned with the architectural curves, with a faceted Piccadilly ‘ruff’ that wraps around its perimeter. Details within the perforated white frieze are revealed and hidden again depending on the viewing angle and the time of day. This is achieved through the imaginative use of the latest lighting control systems that enable colour research on real sky tone and hue transitions to bring the subtle changes of the British seasons outside alive in this indoor space. As each new sun rises outside, a light washes across the sculptures myriad of surfaces, creating a unique progression of colour each day of the year, that then transitions to a night setting in sync with the setting sun outside.

Additional lighting expression in the form of textured, animated white light spreads out from a central ‘oculus’ feature, adding a range of energetic identities to the surface of the dome. The Oculus itself has a polished convex mirror surface that reflects the atrium below and the viewer, allowing both to become part of the sculpture themselves.
