VERMONT 1 | Block #4
Team Name: Team Vermont
Sculpture Title: Trilliant
Artist Statement: "Trilliant" is an exploration of crystalline geometry and the transformative nature of snow. Inspired by the intricate patterns formed in nature and the clarity of light refracted through ice, this sculpture embodies both the elegance and fleeting beauty of winter. The name, a play on the word "trilliant" (a reference to a cut gemstone), reflects the multifaceted interplay of light and shadow that occurs when snow catches the sun.
