Residents of Mt. San Antonio Gardens retirement community in Pomona recently participated in Project: “Look Up,” an immersive artwork created in collaboration with ET Projects.

“Look Up” is a kaleidoscopic rose window created by filming with drones, staged at Mt. San Antonio Gardens according to a news release.

To create the work, Mt. San Antonio Gardens residents moved in tandem under colorful umbrellas throughout several venues on the community’s campus. The geometry of the different venues allowed participants to physically distance and informed the movement within each composition.

The umbrellas used in the project are printed with brightly colored drawings of plants by Elizabeth Turk, the artist who spearheaded ET Projects. The plants pictured on the umbrellas, including gingko, lodgepole pine and poppies, have unique histories of survival, according to the news release.

The “Look Up” project is designed to tell stories of resilience and express the belief that one can “Look Up” and see through today into a more optimistic tomorrow, according to the news release.

Elizabeth Turk, who launched ET Projects in 2018, is known for her work as a sculptor and is a MacArthur Fellow represented by Hirschl & Adler Modern, NYC. ET Projects is committed to building community through art and nature, and “Look Up” is an adaptation from the global Shoreline Project: Laos (www.shorelineproject.org/), postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic.
