Description: The Candlelit City reimagines a downtown corridor into a luminous passageway - a road, a runway, and a meditative path. Inspired by Route 66's winding journey through New Mexico's rugged landscape, the installation creates a beacon of light that honors heritage and activates place. Just as neon once lit the way along Route 66, this installation creates a modern beacon that guides visitors into Albuquerque's creative core. Sculptural forms and hundreds of LED lights transform the walkway into a glowing canyon of stone and flame. At once a social space for intimate reflection, the passageway will be transformed into a runway for fashion events with local designers and other public programs.
