I am so sad I didn’t fight the crowds to see her installation when it was in my town. In hindsight, even seeing it in the midst of a frenzy would have been better than missing it!

I saw her installation in LA a couple years ago, it was amazing and memorable in a way very few art exhibits are, the immersion experience was captivating.
I like Forlorn Spot best, looks like they are not currently but I hope they are put on display someday.
