The artist has captured the treasured glow of sunset over a city and water view that is familiar yet greatly changed since 1980.  Even the traffic on I-5 seems less congested.
Here the artist reconfigures our perspective of the familiar horizon line above Lake Union.  He has captured the fading light after sunset and spread it out wide over four separate frames.  A sense of time and movement is derived from this segmentation.
