Description: The National Light Flag is an interactive contribution station that invites visitors to participate in the creation of a collective civic experience. A series of 250 colorful powder-coated metal fins form an abstracted time line of flags, creating an architectural pod that visitors can enter, move inside and outside, and engage with. Individual audio contributions to community-driven prompts become part of a larger collective expression, transforming the familiar symbolism of the flag into a multi-sensory physical experience centered on participation, representation, and shared voice.
