The project is for a leisure center located in El Paso, Texas. The sculpture-like canopy boasts a [vibrant dual color palette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation) and is made out of "hundreds of lightweight aluminum shingles that are cut to diamond-shaped panels." The curved installation offers small [sculptural seating areas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ls24-lounge-system) at its base and provides some relief from the sizzling sun. The Very Many chooses yellow and blue as primary colors with the intent of stimulating a chromatically induced analogous relationship between warmth and coldness. Dubbed 'Marquise,' the curved installation and its intricate arrangement gives off a certain illusory effect and provides a playful sculptural element to an otherwise unembellished public space.
