"Closed Till Further Notice" was inspired by a visit to the Japanese Tea Gardens in Golden Gate Park. in front of the Japanese Pagoda was a plaque stating that the Japanese-American family who were caretakers of the Gardens were removed and imprisoned in relocation camps during WWII. The artwork incorporates the digital image of the pagoda printed on canvas, with acrylic paint coloring the background. Barbed wire in front of the pagoda symbolize the injustice of the incarceration of the Japanese-Americans during this period.
