"GuideStar is our offering of light and sound to the Seattle community,” said Mendi and Keith Obadike. “The radiant, two-hour presentation of original music and laser beams transforms the night sky into a space of enchantment. We’re proud to partner with the visionary arts center Wa Na Wari, the Seattle Center, and the iconic Space Needle. We hope GuideStar can be a beacon for human connection, wonder, and discovery. We borrowed our title from astronomy, where lasers help scientists see the stars more clearly. We believe artworks can do something similar—allowing us to see ourselves and our surroundings with greater clarity. Through this piece, we honor our shared search for insight and celebrate the inner light that guides and uplifts others. GuideStar invites us to both seek and offer clarity—to guide one another while remaining open to guidance ourselves.”
