Healing Waters – by Mark Davis

.

The Mark Davis piece, entitled “Healing Waters,” is a suspended sculpture, situated above the driveway entrance to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago that represents the flowing movement of water. Comprised of painted blue and green steel and carbon fiber molded plates with a rim of LED lights, these virtual waves are meant to evoke the calming effect of water, and share its positive energy with all who enter the hospital.
