A two-part display showing the original photograph of the Golden Gate Bridge and its 3D-printed tactile representation. The top image is a color photograph capturing the bridge’s iconic orange-red towers and sweeping suspension cables stretching across San Francisco Bay, with soft clouds and blue sky in the background. The bottom image is the tactile version, rendered in raised relief to represent the same scene through texture. The tall towers and curved cables are raised prominently, while the bay waters and sky are shown with distinct surface patterns that can be felt by touch. At the bottom edge of the tactile artwork, a braille label reads “Golden Gate Bridge,” and a QR code beside it can be scanned to access an audio description of the piece. The pairing illustrates how visual photography can be translated into a tactile format for blind and low-vision audiences.

A two-part presentation of Sedona Sunset by Carrie Tahquechi, showing the original photograph on top and the 3D-printed tactile version below it. The top image is a vivid color photograph of Sedona’s red rock formations glowing in warm orange and purple tones beneath a dramatic sunset sky. Below it, the tactile version translates the same scene into raised relief, with textured layers that represent the cliffs, open desert, and smooth sky. The tactile print emphasizes form and contour rather than color, allowing the landscape to be experienced through touch. At the bottom edge of the tactile piece, a **braille label** reads “Sedona Sunset,” and a **QR code** beside it can be scanned to access an **audio description** of the artwork. The pairing highlights how a traditional photograph and a tactile version can work together to make visual art accessible to blind and low-vision audiences.
