The Lorax is a soaring 22-foot stainless-steel sculpture crowned with a radiant five-foot bloom. Within the flower, an outdoor-rated interactive light system comes alive—responsive to data, motion, and subtle shifts in the environment. As visitors move through the space, their presence activates a choreography of color, allowing them to shape the artwork in real time. Each step becomes a catalyst, triggering custom washes of light that ripple through the bloom, transforming the experience into a vibrant, ever-changing dialogue between sculpture and viewer.

ETHOS transforms the Spartan helmet from a symbol into an experience—a monumental threshold where students are invited to step inside and recognize their own strength, potential, and identity.
