Upon reading the haiku I chose, I was immediately reminded of the many skaters that enjoy the trails around Onondaga Lake.
This particular spot on the trail is one of my favorites because while you're enjoying the peace and quiet of the nature trail, there is a spectacular view of the Syracuse city skyline.
I wanted to highlight motion in this piece. Both the skater with her raised skate and the wavy blocks of color radiating from the boombox are tools I used to achieve a sense of motion. I chose retro colors, the boombox, and her fashion to relate the words of the haiku across generations.
Rolling soundtracks flow from kickers.
Everyone is listening to the hip hop transmitters.
This portable disco dance party just needs some glitter!
