I was given a shipping container and asked to make a work of art that could transition from daytime to nighttime. I created a glowing beacon of color that was visible from miles away by retrofitting the shipping container with a series of apertures that grow smaller as they recede into the seventeen-foot long depth. The shipping container referenced the usage of the Port of Los Angeles to transport freight overseas and my design referenced the worldwide shipping routes between ports.
