Breathless Maiden Lane: Grimanesa Amorós’ Captivating Light Sculpture
Breathless Maiden Lane, created by renowned artist Grimanesa Amorós, is a breathtaking light installation that transforms the atrium of 125 Maiden Lane in New York City’s Financial District. This stunning work is part of Amorós’ latest series, featuring LED lights, diffusive materials, and her signature bubble sculptures.
Suspended in mid-air, the sculpture seems to float effortlessly, creating a sense of weightlessness in the atrium’s glass, marble, and granite space. At its core, a structural grid echoes the building’s tall windows, serving as the sculpture’s backbone. This grid supports the bubble sculptures and elegant LED lines that flow through the space.
Breathless Maiden Lane is more than a sculpture—it is an artistic dialogue between light, architecture, and space. With its ethereal presence, the work transforms the atrium into a site of wonder and exploration.
