The surfaces were polished to a luminous finish and <strong>illuminated from within<\/strong>, allowing the sculpture to interact with its environment\u2014capturing and reflecting light throughout the day and night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inspired by the concept of <strong>&#8220;Alluvion&#8221;<\/strong>\u2014the gradual formation of land through the movement of water\u2014<em>Aluvii I<\/em> reimagines industrial materials as a flowing, organic force.
