Borealis Banners

Created by artist Siân Bliss, the lighting scheme expresses the wonder of a winter night’s sky. A message of hope “We All Share The Same Sky” flies above visitors, encouraging you to not only stop and observe the artwork, but admire the sky that sits above it. These hopeful messages, dancing stars, a moon and sunrise move across LED banners suspended across Olympic Way, continue throughout the neighbourhood, and end their journey on London’s tallest-ever LED Christmas tree, on Wembley Park Boulevard.
