“Section” is a installation designed to evoke introspection and emotions – fear and discomfort, as well as hope and a desire to look past the unsettling to something brighter. We have deliberately obscured the uppermost elements of the installation to further create an aura of mystery and intrigue for the dark hovering piece.

Architecture can have a profound affect on its occupants. It is our intent with “Section” to push the edges of a visitor’s experience to better understand how each of us perceives our environments. Some visitors may consider the piece upside-down, and that’s our goal; everyone has their own interpretation.

+ “Section” was constructed over a four week period by a team of volunteers and staff of D+B. Thirteen-thousand sq. ft. of cardboard was provided by PackageOne, a Sacramento-based sustainable packaging company specializing in custom box and display design.
