Some of these we know from history what they’re protecting and why but the others we don’t have a clue, we can only guess and they’re shrouded in mystery and conspiracy.

Pioneering NYC artist Gwyneth Leech enters her midtown art studio one day to find that her epic skyline view will soon be blocked by the construction of a high-rise hotel. But as the perspective out her window permanently shifts, so does the artist’s point of view.
The Monolith is directed by Angelo J. Guglielmo, Jr. and Rosie Walunas adeptly employed the Adobe Creative Suite to bring over 200 pieces of Leech’s beautiful artwork to life using Animation, Motion Graphics and Compositing. Leech has exhibited her work across the United States and the UK in museums, commercial galleries, public art spaces, and alternative venues.
