WHAT IS THE CITY
BUT THE PEOPLE

Commissioned for the COPTA (Transit Authority), a diverse procession of figures—young and old, some engaged with technology, others relying on the aid of a cane—moves in harmonious unison across the expansive surface.  This dynamic composition subtly evokes the grandeur of classical processional friezes, from the timeless elegance of the Parthenon (440 BC) to the bold, expressive dynamism of American artist Norman Lewis (1909-1979).

COLOR WHEELS

Commissioned for OKC Tennis Center, the art vestibule design dynamically activates the entry of the Clubhouse, transforming the space into a vibrant interplay of color and shadow.  Beyond its aesthetic impact, the design subtly integrates tennis-centric motifs, subtly nodding to the sport’s dynamic movements and energy. At night, the structure illuminates the exterior like a kaleidoscopic beacon, a vibrant symbol of the center’s activity and a beacon for tennis enthusiasts.

WINDSWEPT WALL

Commissioned for a rural sire station, this screen wall is a living, breathing dialogue between the built environment and the prairie winds that shaped it. Waving wheat seem to ripple and shift, mimicking the very motion of the wind in a visual dance that creates a compelling tension, a conversation between the rigid geometries of the adjacent firehouse and the untamed grace of the surrounding natural landscape.
