With a final flourish, Tollin steps back and fiddles with the controls on a pair of suspensor pedestals he’s put on the sides of the bridge. With a musical crashing and tinkling sound, the mound of kinetic glass shakes and rises. Slowly it forms into an abstract human shape, surrounded by a spiraling swirl of stone. Even as you watch, the shape slowly moves their arms, and the stones solidify into a sparkling obsidian obelisk that envelops the figure, before breaking apart and returning to its swirling spiral.

Tollin watches with a satisfied smile. “The hardest kinetic glass work I’ve ever attempted,” he says. “And thanks to you, it was a success.”

He reaches into his bag and pulls out a hemisphere roughly the size of his palm, along with a large leather pouch. “Here,” he hands it to you. “I’m afraid I don’t have anything more practical to give you in return, but this is a sculpture I did of a rabbit when I was practicing my realism. I thought you might like it, or … ” he trails off, then laughs. “Maybe you can use it as a decoy!”
