San Francisco, CA | Alcatraz Water Tower
The island’s cylindrical water tank rises against open sky, supported by intersecting steel braces that introduce strong geometric tension. Functional infrastructure becomes symbolic landmark as protest lettering curves along the rim.
This upward perspective simplifies the composition: sky, structure, steel. The watercolor treatment enhances subtle variations in blue and oxidized metal, balancing strength with atmospheric softness.
Industrial in origin yet historic in meaning, this piece reframes utility as icon—an elevated view of one of Alcatraz’s most recognizable elements.

Museum Glass with Elevated Presentation
Museum-grade glass is set away from the artwork using a precision spacing system—allowing the deckled edge to remain fully visible while introducing subtle depth.
The result is a presentation more aligned with gallery display than traditional framing.
