# Neon Illuminated Christmas Trees Liz West Creates the Fluorescence Installation in Kings Cross By Amy Duong | Published 2024-11-26 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluorescence References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/11/26/liz-west-fluorescence-kings-cross-installation/) & [liz-west](https://www.liz-west.com/)  British artist Liz West created the Fluorescence neon installation at Granary Square nestled in Kings Cross, London. It is meant to bring joy to the visitors during this festive season and it is comprised of a long tetrahedon structure which takes on the shape of a Christmas tree. It is meant to be a modern interpretation of the festive themes that bring a sense of light and joy. The installation is incomplete with bold stripes outlined by black lines. West shares with Dezeen, "Fluorescence, with its bold neon hues and dominant stature, is predominately about the power and experience of colour and light on us within the urban environment. I have also used black for the first time within my work to break up the eye-sizzling fluorescent colours. The scale and bright colouration used in the artwork serves as a beacon that radiates and reflects colour all across Granary Square. I hope that all my artwork creates joy and encourages wellbeing for those that encounter it, which taps into the themes of the festive season."
