What a masterpiece! He shifted a sign into a rich experience, nourishing one's soul to encounter it as you move past it. As you move the bottom part of the sign animates in your brain because your movement changes the angle of view. The piece shatters your mapping of what a sign is, and makes the whole experience of the neighborhood richer. I feel grateful for what he has done.
