‘Showing Up Together’ honors the life and legacy of the late Bill Gates, Sr.
As the Artist/Creative Director, I collaborated with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s Global Events team and an experience design team to create a suspended art installation for their 6,000-square-foot atrium on the Seattle campus.

350 folded cranes fly alongside a North Star Crane Kite carrying memories and messages of hope and inspiration from around the world. A reminder of what we can accomplish when we are ‘Showing Up Together’.
