Lin created this piece with Arizona in mind, since the Colorado River is an essential source of energy and water for the state. Pin River challenges us to think differently about the relationship with our surrounding landscape. Through this re-interpretation the artist creates a visual language out of the land, executed through a meandering flow of silver and shadow.

A palindrome is a word, phrase, or sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction. For example, the word: madam. In this work, Ligon extends beyond the grammatical and instead, gives us a conceptual palindrome in his use of the words: face me I face you; wherein in any given relationship, the me and the you could refer alternatively to either one of two parties in any given exchange.
