Oppenstein Park

When I heard the theme for this year, Wonder, I was brought back to a sense of childlike curiosity. In Under Our Feet, I wanted to prompt the viewer to remember playing imagination games with roadmap rugs and feeling the power of community under their fingertips. In a broader sense, I feel road rugs can show us the value of a city that is easily traveled, something that KC Streetcar is helping Kansas City achieve. I hope that the shared memory of childhood will make people smile as they take their time looking around the map and pointing out the places they recognize and the places they’ve yet to go.
