The Light Tower

The Light Tower is a striking public installation in Downtown Miami that plays with illumination as both material and metaphor. Light-based works are especially evocative in Miami's subtropical climate, where the quality of natural light is already extraordinary and artificial light at night transforms the cityscape into something theatrical. As a landmark in Miami's Downtown public art collection, The Light Tower draws the eye day and night — its presence anchors a civic space and reminds passersby that the city invests in beauty as well as commerce. It makes for a particularly dramatic photo at dusk.
