Using circular saws and chisels, she and her assistants have patiently carved and chipped at cedar 4-by-4's to create this monumental form.

"Ocean Voices II” is an epic wood sculpture. Ursula von Rydingsvard has created sculptures out of cedar wood for the past 35 years. Her longstanding use of wood is linked to memories of the makeshift structures that her Ukrainian-Polish family inhabited while moving from one displaced-persons camp to the next across postwar Germany.

Italian director Andrea Pecora visits Sardinia’s most mountainous region to create a short documentary that celebrates the women of Desulo and the traditional dress that connects their past and present.
See “A Desulo” by Andrea Pecora in the Video Arts Gallery, located pre-security in the Mayor Edwin M. Lee International Terminal Departures Hall, and open daily from 8:00am to 10:00pm. Learn more about this month’s films at: https://bit.ly/Video-Arts
See “Billboard Series” by Nance O'Banion, post-security in Terminal 3 and online at: https://bit.ly/4aY25G9
Nance O’Banion was trained as a weaver, but began working with handmade paper as a sculptural medium in 1970. Since then she has become one of the best-known artists working in that medium. Change and transformation are important themes for O’Banion, and "Billboard Series" seems to respond to the transitory nature of the Airport itself as the piece appears to change as the viewer moves around it.
This is your last week to see "The AIDS Memorial Quilt" on display, pre-security, in the Mayor Edwin M. Lee International Terminal Departures Hall and online at: https://bit.ly/AIDSQuiltSFO
Critical funding, research, education, and unlimited access to treatment all lie ahead of the Quilt’s ultimate goal. Unfortunately, HIV/AIDS continues to devastate at-risk populations living in low-income areas and underdeveloped countries. While an estimated 39.9 million people were living with HIV worldwide in 2023, only 30.7 million people were accessing antiretroviral therapy. That year, approximately 630,000 people died of AIDS-related illnesses.
