The shades of red and orange evoke the sunrise over the city. The orange gradient was created with spray paint on a surface painted with acrylics. The minimal geometric structure is a visual reference to San Francisco's architecture. Contemplating the rising sun over San Francisco in the silence of dawn is a timeless moment...a few minutes before the city awakens.

"To see, like a city on fire

Now defines the red sun dome"

Vachel Lindsay

"At the end of our streets are spars,

At the end of our streets is the setting sun,

At the end of our streets the stars.

Never are the morning winds

Fresh from the blinking sea

Circulating swiftly from our ocean,

until the dunes of fog crumble and flee."

"The City by the Sea - San Francisco" by George Sterling
