"Rewarding lives celebrates transformation. Our goal for the exhibit's design was to provide a vehicle for that celebration through the synthesis of art, design, culture, commerce, and ecology".

Seven curved pods, each unique in scale and form, hold groupings of Annie Leibovitz's photos. Inside the pods, walls of translucent mesh create a backdrop of diffused light.

The exterior of the organically shaped exhibit pods, some extending 30 feet high, glow with projected color as twilight falls and the exhibition lighting intensifies.
