Vermont artist Seth Palmiter created this striking 50-foot-long mobile and accompanying 60 feet of cloud-etched glass windows which accent the pedestrian bridge. Suspended from the ceiling, the blue acrylic pieces draw inspiration from the ethereal beauty of cloud contrails—those wispy trails left by aircraft as they streak across a clear blue sky. The artwork's stylized clouds, gracefully capture the fluid, transient nature of atmospheric phenomena.
