Old Terminal 2 at the San Francisco International airport has been dormant for years, but is getting a facelift, including giant glass art on its outside walls.
Artist Norie Sato was approached by the airport and the San Francisco Arts Commission to create Over Under - artwork that covers two 16' x 150' sections of the building's facade, depicting the dual experience of being under or over clouds when flying in a plane.
Sato explained one side shows the man-made experience of flight, with a plane's tail wing, while the other is nature's, depicting a bird in flight.
The artwork consists of 250 laminated glass panels comprised of one layer of glass with hand-painted enamels and another layer that includes a silkscreened pixilated image in white.
This is Sato's largest work of outside art. She also has pieces in the Miami Airport and the Dallas Convention Center.
Terminal 2 is scheduled to reopen in April and will house the new American Airlines and Virgin America terminals.
