Imaginative sculptures that explore how we perceive reality

TED Fellow Alicia Eggert takes us on a visual tour of her work — from a giant sculpture on an uninhabited island in Maine to an installation that inflates only when people hold hands to complete an electric current. Her work explores the power of art to inspire wonder and foster hope in dark times. As she puts it: “A brighter, more sustainable, more equitable future depends first on our ability to imagine it.”
