Cork city is host to incredible street art and this piece of artwork had to stand up to the artwork that already exists in the city while also being respectful of the host building. The largest challenge was to ensure the artwork didn't look like an event or performance that was happening at Cork Opera House so as not to confuse their patrons.

Operation Flow: This artwork was created with accessibility in mind. The artwork is installed in a window space because window spaces are accessible to view from outside the building.
