Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial

The installation includes a series of metal sculptures and cutouts, as well as design for a sound box at the entry to create both a visual and an audible experience for visitors.

City of Tacoma Traffic Box
Custom artwork created for a traffic box wrap, featured in Tacoma from 2024-2029. Four papercuts were made to create a wrap-around, continuous piece of artwork. The papercut is overlaid on an indigo watercolor, to create the feeling and texture of water. This project is an excellent example of Anna’s papercuts scaling to a larger size, and working with the constraints of the box to create a piece that feels seamless and continuous.
