In the chaos of urban life we often forget to take a moment to breathe. Copper Canopy offers a moment of stillness – inviting visitors to stand beneath something that feels alive.
The outdoor installation made from a suspended grid of copper leaves reimagines the shelter of a forest canopy with each leaf individually cut and hung to form a floating canopy above. By day the leaves catch the light and scatter soft shadows across the ground. By night lighting transforms the installation – casting intricate patterns on surrounding surfaces and shifting the atmosphere of the space entirely. As wind moves through the piece the leaves gently sway and rustle adding a subtle layer of sound to the experience.
Responding to its surroundings and shifting with the light weather and movement of people passing beneath it this work offers a dynamic and reflective space in the heart of the city. 
Designed by RAW Works with Roland Rom Colthoff Suleman Khan Elmira Yousefi Aaron Hendershott and fabricated by Anex Works.
