This summer, Complex News is making it a priority to get out of the studio and into the world. And to kickoff the Complex Summer Vacation, we booked a trip to White Sands National Monument in southern New Mexico, a place that vaunts more than 275 square miles of powdered-sugar white sand dunes and gypsum crystals.

While in New Mexico, we linked up with digital artist Shawna X who used the new release of Adobe Creative Cloud to help create a light box installation piece that was unveiled in the middle of White Sands National Monument at sunset. To learn more about Shawna X and her work, check out the video above.
