Speaker.
Laura Williams
Founder of The Aluna Project
Profile:
Imagine a breathtaking sculpture that combines cutting edge design and technology with an ancient knowledge of the Earth’s natural rhythms.
A monumental timepiece for the planet, a beacon for a sustainable future, reconnecting people with the Moon and tides.
Larger than Stonehenge, Aluna’s forty metre wide, five storey high structure is made up of three concentric translucent recycled glass rings. By looking at how each ring is illuminated, you can follow the Moon’s movements, its current phase and the ebb and flow of the tides. This animation of light is called Alunatime. Laura Williams imagined it. And one day, her dream will become a reality.
