I Wait for the Sun is an outdoor text-based work that reads: “I Wait for the Sun” in Anishinaabemowin syllabics and in Japanese. It is made of two steel plates, one with a highly reflective surface and the other is non-reflective. The reflective plate is engraved with Anishinaabemowin and angled to face the non-reflective plate mounted on the wall. The non-reflective plate is engraved with the Japanese translation of the text. When the sun illuminates the face of the Anishinaabemowin plate it reflects the sunlight onto the Japanese plate.
