Giant Kalo Leaf


This stainless steel and dichroic glass sculpture of kalo leaves fronts the University of Hawai‘i's School of Medicine in Kaka‘ako.

Dichroic glass has two color sides, blue and orange. When light passes through the blue surface , as seen above, the light turns orange; and when light passes through the orange side, the light becomes blue. This type of glass is also used on some video production lights, when lights are used outdoors.
