Bridge (Turn) is part of a series of works Glenn Kaino created as an homage to Tommie Smith. The piece is an infinity mirror sculpture of a cast of the arm of athlete Tommie Smith, which was famously raised in a Black Power salute after Smith won the gold medal in the 200-meter men’s race at the Olympic Games in 1968. The infinite reflection creates a golden path into the present, but connected to the past, a spectacular reconciliation of a historic record, an individual memory, and a public symbol.
