An experience as unique as each cancer diagnosis

Designing an experience for the annual Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Light The Night event in Madison needed to encompass both the profoundly personal experience of a cancer diagnosis as well as the expansive support system a diagnosis creates.

The result was an immersive experience with three installations strategically located at multiple locations at Madison’s Vilas Park.

“A cancer battle can change one’s perspective on life, whether for the patient or a loved one. The intent this year was to re-imagine the walk experience, thinking big about what light intervention across the landscape could do to evoke feeling and a sense of collective strength.”

– Erin Whitman, a designer at OPN Architects who helped lead the design and installation of this year’s Light the Night event for the local LLS chapter.
