A Flicker Of Hope is part 3 of the installation series The Relationship inspired by the final passage from Thornton J. Wilder’s 1927 novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey, which is displayed on the exterior ad space. An homage to one of the city’s commuting hubs and the mystery of where something may lead, the creation of a subway entrance is the beginning and end of a journey. Half red-lit globes allude to a relationship in its near conclusion as seen in the image portrayed in the advertisement.
