Congratulations to gallery artist Lauren Iida, who was commissioned in 2022/23 to create a 325 square foot, hand-cut paper installation for the new Meta offices in Bellevue, WA. This monumental work in paper and watercolor is inspired by historical images of Japanese Americans from the Densho digital archives and honoring farmers of Japanese descent who used to (before WWII) cultivate the land where the new Meta offices now stand.
A single golden thread made of paper connects the 11 panels of cut paper referencing the ancient Japanese art of “Kintsugi” or “golden joinery.”
