Powder-coated steel

​
An interactive, double-sided relief/transparent wall. Utilizing a technique of undulating laser-cut vertical slices that are held apart to create an interactive perception of forms. It reads from fully realized representations to near invisibility. On one side depictions of
five branches of the military, on the other - a close-up of a waving American flag. The intent is to have the shadow of each side’s fully realized forms bleed through, while also maintaining a transparent fence quality. It's a sculptural magic trick.
