Description: ‘Dragonfly’ captures the abstraction of a dragonfly in flight while the ‘wings’ incorporate photovoltaic solar cells that harvest energy from interior secondary light to power a multi-colored LED. This sculpture can collect interior energy to illuminate itself in very low interior light conditions (to 150 lux) and does not require any maintenance, battery or external power.
