Not on view
Gallery installation with large-scale projected image of a rocket silhouetted against a golden sunset sky, with a small reflective projector on a white table at center
Installation view in a darkened gallery: a tall column of black blocks with white linear markings stands at left; in the background, a video projector on a white pedestal casts a coastal sunset scene—blue sky, clouds, and ocean—onto the far wall; a second projector sits on stacked boxes at right on wood flooring.
