Dancing Blossoms
On view until January 24, 2026
Central Branch, Glass Case Gallery
Dancing Blossoms is a kinetic installation composed of delicate paper mobiles that respond to the soft, fleeting rhythms of nature. This contemplative work invites viewers to pause and breathe, observing the beauty of impermanence, the stillness of winter, and the quiet sense of renewal that unfolds in each gentle movement. Through light, motion, and natural materials, the installation creates a moment of reflection in the midst of the season.
This exhibit is part of the 2026 DesignTO Festival.
