The [massive three-part sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflector-sculpture), which is gigantic in size, stands out because of its transformative abilities. During the day, the three letters are reflective, acting as [giant mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabine-marcelis-1) to those who visit. During the night, however, the sculpture turns seemingly transparent and is [lit via LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-design). Maintaining a good balance between brash and elegant, 'RUN' is an absolute success and a great fit with the Olympic games. Standing tall at 30 feet, Monica Bonvincini's 'RUN' is an unmissable piece that makes a strong statement.
