A school of twenty welded-steel fish, ten large and ten small, installed under the Waterline / Confluence pedestrian bridge for Creek Show 2026, a public after-dark exhibition organized by Waterloo Greenway in Austin, Texas.
Each fish is a welded steel frame wrapped in dichroic film, so the color shifts as a viewer moves past. Inside, a chasing LED strip runs through the body. The installation hangs from the bridge with cable through the mesh, lifted from the ground with a pulley.
The work treats the confluence — where two waters, and a lot of people, come together — as a portal the school is passing through. Each fish is its own piece and is available individually after the exhibition.
