Nike Savvas has completed a major commission for Nike Town, San Francisco
San Francisco, USA

Epic 8000 has recently been unveiled in Nike Town Inc, San Francisco. The arresting installation was inspired by the marathon and its world record, each ball representing a second in the world record.  The current marathon record stands at 2 hours and 3 minutes, which is equivalent to 7,380 seconds. Savvas has applied this data to her creation of ‘Epic 8000’, which consists of 7,380, 4 cm glass balls suspended from one another to form a prism. The exact positioning of the glass balls allows vector lines to be visually traced through the work, intimating movement and speed.
