"This ephemeral light piece utilizes the towers of the Front Yard to create three light gestures inspired by Muhammad Zaman’s mural Hope Setting in a Bank of Smoke, which he created for Stay Gold 2022 and on view tonight. To honor Muhammad at Stay Gold 2026 we are bringing an ode to his work to the front of the building and sending beams of light up from the Burchfield Penney into the universe for him and all who have touched our lives and died of cancer. The light beams are made visible by atmospheric changes and weather, as what can’t always be seen is nevertheless there." —Carlie Todoro-Rickus
