From the artistÕs proposal: ÒMy idea for these murals is to convey a sense of joy through an exuberant juxtaposition of colors, shapes, and familiar images. É On the surface, the variety of colors and shapes in the mosaics resemble collages and invite the traveler to consider the multiple layers of images found on city walls, particularly in the subway, where posters may tear, revealing previous images and forming exciting compositions. These wonderful juxtapositions of forms and thoughts are consonant with the dynamics of a vital, urban environment, which, like a collage, is a multi-layered community of individuals whose diversity brings into relief the character of a city. É The glass is as diverse as the station Õs passengers, whose ethnic origins stem from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. É I wanted the abstract design to be balanced with realistic images that people can instantly get.Ó

The hunt is still on!
