Description of project
Colors in motion is a vibrant art installation that shifts and transforms depending on the viewer’s perspective, inviting playful interaction for both children and adults.
A series of multicolored rectangular pillars are mounted on one or more grassy areas of the schoolyard. Each pillar is painted in different colors on each side, creating a dynamic visual effect as one moves around them.
The pillars can spin on their axis—either by hand or wind—adding another layer of engagement and surprise.
Arranged to form a kind of “forest of colors” the installation encourages movement and imaginative play. Children can run through, play hide and seek, chase one another, or invent games involving balls, water pistols, and more.
At once eye-catching and interactive, this abstract artwork also fosters sensory development and spatial awareness, helping children explore color, space, and harmony through joyful physical experience.
