Vancouver is a notoriously rainy city in the winter and on the rare sunny day; most people are stuck indoors working. Solstice was a public art installation that sought to bring the feeling of sun and warmth to the night sky for everyone to enjoy in the dreary winter months.

By collecting HD timelapse footage of bright, colourful Vancouver skies and using 3D projection mapping techniques, projected onto a custom sculpture, Solstice created a spatially augment reality for the viewer. The result was an abstract window into a brighter world. The project creates a representation of an enticing environment through a visual storytelling experience for the viewer. The physical narratives of this work are based in optics, illusion and the investigation of the>perception of reality (Hfour, 2017).
