British-Nigerian designer Yinka Ilori shines a spotlight on his Good Things Come to Those Who Wait installation which has taken over part of the Eros fountain at Piccadilly Circus. The central London location also has two plinths taken over by the bright hues and font by the artist. It features a pair of Pegasus' on top of the bright orange plinth, crafted from perforated metal.
Ilori shares, "I am always looking for ways to make my work accessible to everyone and am grateful to be able to showcase this project in such an iconic public space, Through my artwork and the legendary story of Pegasus, I hope to inspire people to pursue their dreams, and believe that hope can overcome adversity. Together, we can achieve the impossible!"
