The installation is comprised of a set of large inflatable sculptures that reference Japanese ‘kawaii’ culture where the use of exaggerated cute aesthetics elicits and heightens emotions of nurture, playfulness and vulnerability.

What’s interesting??

Visitors are invited to interact with the sculpture by forming a human chain that connects with each end of the rainbow. That simple act of connection rewards participants by activating the sculpture, which springs into life with new sounds, animations and brilliant pulsing light.

Edison says, “The work aims to immerse audiences in a moment of belonging and common humanity, where participants enjoy a psychological experience of positivity, cooperation and understanding between friends and strangers alike.”
