Welcome

1994–2000, San Francisco International Airport new expansion
Commissioned by San Francisco Art Commission.
Permanent Public Art Installation: Cast glass panels, light

As arriving international passengers approach the passport checkpoint, they are greeted by the word “welcome” in the 22 languages most commonly spoken in San Francisco. The multilingual greetings appear on custom-cast glass panels (36" x 60") built into a row of columns. As passengers move near the columns, the words abruptly disappear, because of the viewers’ position in relation to the glass.
