A giant sun-like art installation, named Helios, has illuminated Jubilee Pool in Bristol. Created by artist Luke Jerram, the five-meter-wide sculpture now floats suspended above the water, casting its glow and reflections for a three-week exhibition period.
Jerram, known for his community-focused art, selected the publicly accessible Jubilee Pool as an ideal venue. He aims to foster connection and shared experience through his work, bringing a touch of the celestial to an everyday community space.
