    Artist Statement

    Sagrada Familia, designed by Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, is one of Barcelona's most magnificent buildings. An ancient structure, being built in a modern time. Under construction for something around 100 years and still being completed, the spires seem to grow with each passing year, while the tallest spire is yet to be completed. The modern cranes snake around and between the spires in a delicate balance of ancient and modern.
