The Watt’s Towers, built in Simon Rodia’s backyard, is on a triangular lot that points east towards his native Italy. The eastern most tip of the lot is reminiscent of a ship. Imagining the towers in different environments, I’ve erased the distance between the Towers and the ocean, the towers float amidst a raging sea.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the Watts House Project in a variety of ways.
