His work is rooted in science, perception and history and can be enjoyed in museums, science centers, libraries, hospitals, university campuses, transit stops, trade shows, and public spaces across the globe. City of Stars is composed of finished stainless steel with intricate laser cut patterns. The forms will be welded and bolted together.
