This installation was installed as a focal point and gathering place within the old Hotel Flores in the historical city of Guererro Viejo, Mexico as part of the symposium "Cultural, Water, and Money" which dealt with issues of poverty and pollution on the Rio Bravo (Rio Grande). The river has receded during the current drought, revealing the long disappeared ruins. The city was flooded in 1955 with the construction of a dam in a joint project between Mexico and the US. The symposium was created and sponsered by artist Michael Tracy and the River Pierce Foundation. The fabric structure was fabricated with the help of students from the University of Houston. The cotton structure forms a large undulating tensioned archway between the two remaining walls of the old hotel.
