I seek to discover what I'm capable of before my time is out. This piece is a personal challenge to make real what I believed impossible for me. The result: the most complex, technical artwork I have created to-date, and a more skilled and thoughtful artist. Whoever owns this piece, will be the caretaker of a most symbolic milestone. - Jason Toth

The LAND of Hope and Dreams, is a four-panel Cleveland landmark collage that maps the city through its most iconic features—Terminal Tower, the Guardians of Traffic, the Mather Steamship, the Main Avenue and Veteran’s Memorial bridges, the Free Stamp, Key Tower, and more—woven into a single panoramic composition. At first glance, it feels like controlled chaos. Stay with it and a deeper order and rhythm is revealed...

This is my most complex and ambitious piece to date.

Experience the panels interact with light like living architecture. Daylight pulls out one spectrum of hues; color-changing LEDs awaken another. Subtle details emerge and vanish as the environment shifts, making the work feel alive. Each time you return, you discover something new.

Each panel stands as its own artwork, but together they form an 80x40 installation that commands space and invites conversation.

Each panel can be purchased individually, though the full experience is only possible when the whole is maintained.

Artistic Process

This piece took shape over two years, beginning with hundreds of photographs across Cleveland—Terminal Tower, the Guardians of Traffic, bridges, the Free Stamp, and more. Each landmark was isolated, studied, and digitally rebuilt. I created individual artworks for each subject before dismantling them again, pulling fragments into a single, evolving composition.

The challenge was to merge dozens of architectural voices into one visual language. Every color decision was hand-tuned, not for shock value, but to control how the piece feels in different environments. Under daylight, certain structures surface boldly; under color-changing LEDs, hidden layers appear, revealing rhythms you didn’t see before. The work never collapses into chaos, though it flirts with it. Instead, it resolves into a pattern that rewards slow looking—a map of Cleveland reimagined as something living and dynamic.

Nothing about this process was automated. It required building and breaking the image repeatedly until the composition carried both tension and order. The result is a four-panel installation that feels as much engineered as it does imagined—a design of precision and instinct, built to shift and breathe with light.
