Many of them respond to touch, sound, or movement, giving visitors a chance to take part in the artwork rather than simply observe it. Each one has its own personality and creative vision, and exploring them is half the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-radiant\">Radiant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Radiant feels almost alive. The installation uses shifting colours and organic shapes that appear to grow and transform as you walk around it. Thanks to carefully designed volumetric lighting, the artwork seems to stretch beyond its physical boundaries, creating a sense of depth and motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(1170 \/ 780)\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"911\" alt=\"Radiant Light Show\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-77104\" data-id=\"77104\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1170 \/ 780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/falls_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/radiant-1366x911.jpg\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"911\" alt=\"Radiant Light Show\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-77106\" data-id=\"77106\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1170 \/ 780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/falls_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/radiant3-1366x911.jpg\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1366\" height=\"911\" alt=\"Radiant Light Show\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-77105\" data-id=\"77105\" data-aspect-ratio=\"1170 \/ 780\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cliftonhill.com\/falls_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/radiant2-1366x911.jpg\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The piece was created by Rob Jensen and the Radiant Team, working alongside Serge Maheu and Init, and produced through Zamboom LLC, Multicolore, and Init, with support from Creos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-light-anemones\">Light Anemones<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the day, the Light Anemones quietly reflect sunlight with shimmering mirrors that shift and scatter colour.
