Brief: Create a lighting sequence for The Shard’s 2025 Christmas Lights programme as part of a wider artist collaboration series.

Summary: Selected as 1 of 12 artists to create a large-scale animated sequence displayed across The Shard’s spire during the Christmas period, alongside work from painters, poets, illustrators and digital artists.

My approach

• Developed kaleidoscopic patterns inspired by London’s cultural diversity and architectural details

• Combined bold geometric forms with finer ornamental motifs to ensure visibility at scale

• Worked closely with the lighting team to translate the animation into the spire system

• Created mock-ups to test how the sequence would read across height and distance

• Refined colour and contrast to maximise clarity across the London skyline
