Artist Tavares Strachan is constructing five massive words in pink neon on a mountain in Telluride, Colorado. The glowing sentence spans 50 feet at its widest point and 10 feet off the ground.

Together is set to be unveiled this September 2020.
Rendering of “Together,? 2020. Neon, transformers, steel, concrete, tube supports, rich-lite. Variable dimensions.

This animated video rendering demonstrates the neon contrast with the green of spring and the cold white of winter.
