Temporal Structural Fortified Space touches on the complex nature of our county’s development from the orchard-centric valley to a super high-tech hub of the globe and the architectural mega-construction tool that enables building higher, building more– cranes.

This compound composition of past, present, and future elements is recognizable, however, what has intentionally been omitted are the humanness figures representing the people who activate these mechanics and apparatus of development.  

This piece beckons the audience to envision themselves or people they know from all walks of life who have contributed to the beautification of Santa Clara County.
