Projection Mapping

Reverse Reverie (2024) transformed the front side of Dallas City Hall into a vibrant canvas, projecting bold, colorful visuals that playfully unfolded in reverse, interacting with the building's architectural features and contours. The artwork evokes a dreamlike exploration of time moving backward, creating a sense of wonder and surrealism.
