Welcome to the world, Congruence! In case you missed it, our newborn 21-foot-tall sculpture took its first steps onto the Sky Terrace of Campus Parking—our recently opened parking complex.

This mighty geometric structure was brought to life by artist duo HYBYCOZO and specifically commissioned for this site at Crystal Bridges. At night, the sculpture glows with light, casting a magical array of shadows all around it.
About Congruence
Congruence is made up of 12 geometric forms. These are all truncated octahedrons, a special type of polyhedron that easily stacks together, leaving no gaps. The artwork includes a tall central structure and three individual shapes, revealing how the pieces fit together.

The original inspiration for this artwork was the mineral fluorite, which builds upwards to create its unique form.
Light and shadow are other important parts of Congruence. Each face of the forms connects with an intricate pattern that allows light to shine through during the day. After dark, the sculpture becomes a beacon of light, filling the surrounding area with unexpected patterns.

On the Sky Terrace, the alluring sculpture overlooks the nearby forest and trail system. Just as the parking garage connects Crystal Bridges, The Amazeum, Art Bridges, and the Whole Health Institute, Congruence connects people in this distinctive, yet imaginative gathering space.

About the Artists
The art and design duo of Yelena Filipchuk and Serge Beaulieu are the collaborative minds behind HYBYCOZO, short for The Hyperspace Bypass Construction Zone. For the last nine years, this Los Angeles-based studio has brought geometry and math into the world of art, asking the question, “What does it mean to create art in a time of change on this planet?”

In their public art installations, HYBYCOZO aims to build places for the community to come together and experiment by combining the natural world with mathematical elements. Their team creates larger-than-life sculptures that showcase minerals and geometry in ways that create a personal relationship of wonder and curiosity with the works.
