A series of iconic and interactive water sculptures participate in and celebrate the collection and purification of the community’s storm-water. The works pull water from the ground to the sky where it cascades in slow dynamic patterns down 10m high metal curtains that are illuminated with shifting light. Light Showers forms a new gateway to Toronto’s waterfront that symbolizes the city’s commitment to environmental stewardship.
