The Florida Aquarium

in Tampa, Florida has a unique lobby space which they wished to transform with a relief sculpture that also functions as a donor wall.

Ripples of Life curves with the building’s unique interior, incorporating various sculptural elements into overlapping ripple patterns and includes its own fully programmable, color-changing LED lighting system.

We collaborated with painter and electrical engineer Carrie Jadus to develop the concept and see the project through to fruition.
