Sarah Sze: Forever is Composed of Nows
Opens November 21, 2026
Artist Sarah Sze reimagines SFMOMA's grand atrium as an ever-changing environment of light, movement, and sound in this ambitious new commission. Drawing inspiration from nature's fragility and how we experience time itself, Sze creates an immersive landscape that unfolds across multiple levels, combining monumental paintings with flowing video projections and evocative soundscapes. The exhibition invites visitors to contemplate how fleeting moments accumulate into lasting memory, echoing themes from Emily Dickinson's poetry in a thoroughly contemporary artistic vision.
