《Tree of Light | Central Library Atlanta》（光之树 | 亚特兰大中央图书馆）
亚特兰大，被称为“森林之城”，是一个根深蒂固、历史悠久的地方。
作为知识的聚集地，这座图书馆是它的心脏，是其现代科学之树，吸引着社区的参与，并向其他地方扩展。
《光之树》是一首表达我们对树木的赞赏之光之诗。这是一座由文字镌刻的镜面圆盘构成的雕塑，排列得像树叶一样，同时参考了马塞尔·布劳尔原始的四个天窗：四个圆形的光，悬浮在一个正方形的角落里。
镌刻在圆盘上的文字是社区的产物，通过文字游戏的方式收集，并由亚特兰大的诗人瓦莱丽·雷斯普瑞斯安排。
*《科学之树》是由神秘主义者和哲学家雷蒙·尤尔于1295年编写的，是一种早期的百科全书格式，旨在向普通大众提供信息。

Tree of Light | Central Library Atlanta
Atlanta, the City in a Forest, is a place of deep roots and rich history.
As a gathering place for knowledge, this library serves as its heart – its modern Tree of Science – drawing in its community and branching out to others.
Tree of Light is a poem of light expressing interconnected ideas of our appreciation of trees. A sculpture made of text inscribed mirror discs arranged like the leaves on a tree while referencing Marcel Breuer’s original quartet of skylights: four circles of light, poised in the corners of a square.
The words engraved on the discs are a product of the community, collected through a process of word play and arranged by Atlanta based poet Valerie Respress.
*The Tree of Science, written in 1295 by mystic and philosopher Ramon Llull, was an early version of an encyclopedia format aimed to inform the general public.
