Halos are optical illusions that occur when light interacts with ice crystals. In the moment a halo forms, the ice crystals are captured in cirrus or cirrostratus clouds and align to act like prisms. The refracted light forms a ring of white light or is dispersed into a spectrum of colors. Halo is a light sculpture that aligns three rings of light to provide the viewer an opportunity to discover the interchange of light.
