Buildings serve as an anchor within memories of people to specific moments in their history, but what happens when these tangible references no longer exist? Foundation (2021) serves as a reminder of the history of Hilltop. Many institutional buildings, depict famous moments in history or places on the facade or entrance into the space. Similarly, Foundation attempts the same. The Hilltop Lasting Legacy Project sought to create permanent installations that connect directly to the neighborhood during a time where the ongoing construction has displaced many of the current residents. A site-specific project made for the residents of Hilltop, a predominately Black neighborhood in Tacoma, Washington, memorializing buildings tied to the people and history of the neighborhood.
