Ray of Light

Ray of Light is a stainless Steel water Sculpture created by Barton Rubenstein. Found at Flats 8300, this piece measures 70”H x 38”W x 18”D. Like rays of light, this sculpture rises boldly with strong vertical lines that fan upwards and outwards. Water passes over the top edges and glides down the sculpture’s surfaces. With its brushed finish, “Ray of Light” emits a brilliant shimmering light, magnified by its multiple articulated surfaces. It is situated at the end of a partially enclosed public plaza surrounded by apartments and retail.
