The artwork is a three-dimensional wall drawing that displays the trajectories of bouncing balls across a virtual space contained by the four walls of the multi-purpose area.
Escaped from the nearby gymnasium and pool, balls of various colours and sizes – from ping-pong balls to basketballs – are passing through the walls of the area.
The Ballroom is the place where balls come to dance.

Implicitly, the artwork continues the recreation centre mandate of mixing leisure and culture by adding the dancing activities, as they were formerly practiced in community centres.

Commissionned by the Edmonton Arts Council and the City of Edmonton.
