Hidden in the underpass along Alaska Way, a congregation of large-scale puppet-like figures of undulating cloth and cast shadows are animated by wind current and mechanical overhead cables.

Just as a wave crests and falls, a sail hoists to catch the wind, and a hand raises and lowers to signal passage, these figures comprise a choreographed movement of raising and falling, resting and rising, in sequence.

Inspired by the threshold nature of the site, the joint between land and water, liquid and solid, and the hypnotic pattern of individual waves rocking, merging, and separating in a ceaseless field of motion, the sculptural forms, at once abstract and figurative, are brought to life.
