"Light as Smoke," 2022, draws its composition from Calder’s "Red Disc," 1947. Instead of balancing the mobile on a pedestal, it is balanced on a 203mm bombshell recovered in Quang Tri. A section of the bombshell is cut and welded onto the mobile to act as a counterweight. This creates an opening in the bombshell, allowing viewers to look inside the bomb.
