In 2013, Women & Their Work commissioned the public art installation of “THIRST,” which featured a 38-foot tall tree killed by drought hovering in the center of Lady Bird Lake to memorialize the 500 million trees that died in Texas as a result of the 2011-2013 droughts. The installation was accompanied by thousands of prayer flags. Artist Beili Liu has repurposed these flags into face masks during the current pandemic. W&TW are donating a mask which we will auction at the end of the program to benefit our Administrative Fund since we haven’t been able to “pass the hat” on Zoom!
