A dimly lit gallery space bathed in blue light. On the left, a large screen‬‭ displays a green six-pointed star at its center, surrounded by six inward-facing‬ triangles. Additional geometric shapes swirl into the blue background. In front of the‬ screen, a formation of stones rests on a reflective black floor. On the right wall,‬ glowing blue geometric forms and wall text are visible.

A dark gallery space bathed in blue light. On the left, a large screen displays a six-sided star at its center, within which video footage of green stones is projected.‬ Surrounding the star, six inward-facing triangles form a pattern. The background‬ blends swirling geometric shapes with footage of stars and the night sky. In front of‬ the screen, a formation of stones rests on the reflective black floor. On the right wall,‬ glowing blue geometric forms and wall text are visible.‬‭

Surrounding the star, six inward-facing triangles form a pattern. Beyond‬ them, green stones appear to be submerged underwater. In front of the screen, a‬ formation of stones rests on the reflective black floor. On the right wall, glowing blue‬ geometric forms and wall text are visible.‬

On a dark blue gallery wall, a glowing circle of geometric forms made up of‬ Lakhota characters is displayed. To its right, instructions for a score commissioned‬ by the American Composers Orchestra are present. Further to the right, four‬ Lakhota characters are shown, representing the elements that compose the‬ geometric form on the left.

A dimly lit gallery space glows blue. Symbols illuminate the back walls, while‬ exhibition wall text and iPads displaying video footage are positioned on the far right.‬ In the lower left corner, a formation of stones peeks into the frame.‬‭

In a dark gallery space, a blue-glowing geometric form is shown on the wall.‬ To its right, two small iPads showcase video footage—one featuring a drum and the‬ other displaying a musical score

A dimly lit gallery space with two iPads are on display. The far right iPad‬ shows white geometric forms on a black background, and to its left the other iPad‬ shows a person drumming. On the far left, a dimly lit form made up of geometric‬ symbols glows blue.

In a dark gallery space, a formation of stones rests on a black mirrored floor.‬ The stones are placed in different formations, circles, zig-zags, triangles, infinity‬ symbols, which all meet at a central circular point. Behind the stones is a large‬ screen showing video footage of rocks under water. The video footage reflects off‬ the mirrored floor.‬‭

Behind the stones is a large screen‬ showing video footage of stars in the night sky with green geometric forms, similar to‬ the clusters of stone formations on the floor, circling the sky.

In the corner of a dark blue gallery wall, two circles of geometric symbols‬ made up of Lakhota characters glow on either side of the corner. Between the two formations of geometric symbols are instructions for a score commissioned by the‬ American Composers Orchestra.‬‭
