As travelers exit the secure area of the Boise Airport, they are greeted by a dynamic interplay of mirrored panels and textured, horizontal sheets of steel, evoking the flowing rhythm of a river. The reflective surface amplifies the surrounding environment, creating a sense of movement and connection to the natural world. This installation honors the power of water, not just as a resource, but as a vital force of renewal. It serves as a reminder of the river's ongoing journey, flowing with life, history, and sustainability—inviting each visitor to reflect on the importance of water and the ecosystems it sustains.
