HIGH STREET

Saks – New York Created to honour the memory of the Stonewall Uprising, these windows are a celebration of queer history and love. It was a privilege to design these windows as a love letter to my community during this important time recognizing Pride in New York City. Our goal with these windows was to connect the past and present through the use of archival imagery presented through a modern lens. Inspired by the colourways of the original Pride flag, each window is treated as a saturate landscape with powerful narrative images highlighted by LED neon elements. The architectural frames and panels that weave through each window work in tandem with atmospheric lighting to further establish tone and a clear progression.
