Heights (2013) is a dialogue between different times and spaces, captured from a single window, over the course of a year. The piece examines the rhythms of a neighborhood, and the role of architecture as an indifferent host to its fluctuations. Heights finds echoes of high-rise window frames in the glow of flat screen televisions, and investigates the accuracy of the world on screen versus actual human experience. As the piece builds, it tries to navigate the relationship between both the intensity and mundanity that seem to exist in places simultaneously.
