AiRx: Angles of Incidence

The choice of site creates a dynamic relationship between the installation and its environment.

Angles of Incidence comprises a family of reflective multi-faceted steel structures, some of which patterned with crystal elements, placed beneath the canopy of an 80-year old Kapok tree.

Following its premiere in the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Angles of Incidence will travel to the Inner Temple Gardens in London from the second half of 2014.
