"Sun Tunnels"

"Sun Tunnels" is an installation artwork created by artist Nancy Holt, consisting of four large concrete tubes arranged in a cross pattern in the Utah desert. Designed to align with the solstices and other celestial events, the tunnels frame views of the sky, allowing the sun and stars to be seen through them at specific times of the year. The piece explores themes of astronomy, nature, and human perception, creating a meditative experience where visitors can observe how natural light and celestial movements interact with the environment. It invites reflection on our connection to the cosmos and the passage of time.
