This three-dimensional public sculpture allows one to walk through, around and into the form, it presents the illusion of vast depth. Using powerful visuals, viewer to feels as though they are walking about an extensive space which stimulates the individual more than a two-dimensional plane. It transports the viewer to another reality, one built on their memories, allowing them to create new personal narratives in a constructed place.

Phantom Dunes provide students, faculty, staff, admin and visitors to Devasthali Hall, new Department of Art, Art Museum and other University areas a place to study, meet, and hold class. Memory of a Dune could also become a place to meet friends and gather, a place of ownership for the students. “Let’s meet at the Dunes.”
