Piece description from the artist
I captured this unique vertical photograph in May 2026, focusing on a vintage coin-operated viewing telescope with Crazy Horse Memorial softly blurred in the background. The binocular viewer adds a nostalgic touch, inviting visitors to look more closely at one of the world's largest mountain carving projects.
Located in the Black Hills near Custer, South Dakota, Crazy Horse Memorial is being carved into Thunderhead Mountain and continues to reveal more detail with each passing year. A partly cloudy blue sky provides a beautiful backdrop, helping the monument stand out beyond the classic observation viewer.
Crazy Horse was a respected Oglala Lakota war leader known for his courage, leadership, and dedication to protecting the traditional way of life of his people. Construction of the memorial began in 1948 under sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski and continues today through private donations, preserving his legacy while creating one of the Black Hills' most recognizable landmarks.
