Imagine Hope

10 inches x 16 inches x ½ inch tempered glass

Laser etched

Imagine Hope is part of a series of work with a focus on text that is cast as shadow.

I often choose a single word to translate into multiple languages. Imagine Hope features hope presented in fourteen languages. The diversity of the letterforms represent the world’s peoples, and remind us we are part of a global community made more resilient by hope.

The layout is designed on a computer, and then laser etched onto a glass panel. When the glass is lit either by the sun or artificial light, a play of light and shadow is created on the wall.
