Heralding the dawn, Salt Lake City, Utah, 2006

The Salt Lake Temple, which took 40 years to build, and has walls nine feet thick at the base and six feet thick at the top, is the first Mormon temple to feature a standing angel Moroni statue. The gilded statue stands on a huge ball at the very top of the building’s central tower. It sounds a trumpet, which in this case heralds the coming of dawn that strikes the pinnacles of the temple. By showing only part of the temple, I invite the viewer to use his or her imagination to picture the rest of it.
