A Solo Exhibition by Looking Up Arts | November 6 - November 15, 2026
Friday, November 6 | 6PM - 9PM - Opening Reception
From the Playa to the Gallery
Originally created for Burning Man 2026, Altered Light: Windows from the Playa brings the luminous beauty of the desert into the heart of San Francisco.
UNBOUND is excited to present a solo exhibition by Looking Up Arts, featuring illuminated, stained glass-inspired acrylic panels from Confessional Alter: Demoop du Soul, an interactive installation that debuted at Burning Man.
Created using precision laser-cutting techniques, vibrant acrylic, and LED illumination, these intricate windows combine traditional stained-glass aesthetics with modern digital fabrication.
On the playa, the windows were part of an altar-shaped circus wagon designed as a space for confession, reflection, vulnerability, and human connection. Glowing against the desert night, they invited visitors to pause, interact, and explore their inner worlds.
Now, removed from their original environment and presented as standalone artworks, the panels take on a new life. Their rich colors, organic patterns, and interplay of light and geometry invite a closer look at the relationship between technology, craftsmanship, and artistic expression.
