The glassworks bring lively color to the station, providing visual interest and a place for the commuter to concentrate on positive thoughts and energy. Inspired by life in the city, Andrea Arroyo wanted to convey humanity, community, and harmony through her artwork. As Arroyo explained, "In my work I celebrate nature and humanity, while examining the notions of gender, race and identity. My interest in the human form derives from my background in dance."
