The view is impermanent because it shows a scene in motion as on passes by the Seattle waterfront at high speed with its prominent Ferris wheel on display. It also represents an additional type of impermanence as it documents a viewpoint that will soon be absent – seen from the raised Alaskan Way Viaduct. –Artist statement
