Bay Bridge S Turn Fatalities of 2009
This truck in full scale is frozen in a haunting free-fall depicts one of the accidents created by the new design of the San Francisco Bay Bridges "S" Turn in late 2009. In a period of only a few weeks the new design had led to numerous accidents along the turn from multiple car pile-ups to the plummet of a Semi-truck 200 feet to the Yerba Buena Island below. Totaling 44 accidents from opening of Sept 8th.

This idea commemorates the life, love, and freedom that San Francisco attracts and transmits. The love, art and music culture from San Francisco's 60s and 70s is depicted from this round bowl (symbolizing diversity and migration) spilling flowers (symbolizing life, growth and freedom) and producing trails of flowers running from the bowl down a path (inspiration, translation, growth, acceptance).
