A Whimsical Winter

The Concept

Designed for Grand Rapids, Michigan’s annual event, World of Winter, vibrantly colored and abstract compositions adorn the windows along the ground level of the McKay Tower. Pastel-tones make for a joyful experience and complement the bright, reflective nature of snow. As the viewer travels around the base of the McKay Tower, each composition flows from one to another with the use of repeating elements such as colorful striping, and undulating shapes that allude to the sweeping quality of snow.

Spreading the Joy of Winter
