Commissioned by the city for a local park, Colin conceived a piece of standing architecture meant to first isolate the viewer from the local surroundings and then give a more appreciated view back into the beauty of the park life itself. Towards the end of its completion, the city board, pushed by one of the local retail chain backers, changed the intended view originally plotted out in Colin’s vision. Although furious, Colin had no means to contest. Days later, after the initial unveiling, vandals struck and left a somewhat poignant message across the structure. So poignant, that its presence only added to the piece. Even with rumors abound, no one will admit to knowing who the “vandal” is.
