Luminous Ecologies by Meredith Connelly (@meredith.connelly on Instagram) will transform the plaza into an immersive environment of light, movement, and interconnected life systems. Featuring the illuminated installations Water and Mushrooms & Snails, the exhibition explores ecology, mythology, and the delicate relationships that sustain the natural world.

Through sculptural forms and shifting light, Connelly invites viewers to reflect on water as a life-giving force, the hidden intelligence of fungi, and the quiet organisms that maintain ecological balance all around us.
