HEXALUMINA
An experiential Solar-Powered Public Artwork
Hexalumina will be a permanent public artwork in the City of Dallas collection.
Planned for installation at the Singing Hills Recreation Center, it will be a sculptural canopy that brings together art, technology, and community in a single, uplifting experience.
Inspired by the form of a shared tree canopy, Hexalumina will rise on elegant branching columns and be built from stainless steel hexagons, filled with vibrant polycarbonate panels and organic solar cells. By day, it will cast colorful, shifting shadows across the ground. By night, it will glow with energy harvested from the sun a radiant symbol of creativity and sustainability.
More than a sculpture, Hexalumina will become a place to gather, play, and reflect. It will generate clean energy and reimagine public space as a source of inspiration, education, and connection.
