Based on African and African-American culture and history and fused with the contemporary music and pop culture from his Brooklyn neighborhood, Sol'Sax's faceted glass project addresses in visual form the layers of memory and culture that influence and inspire his work. 

The vibrant colors and intricate designs in the art panels represent the artist's creative explorations. Images of city life are melded with symbols of ancient African cultural influences and relics. The compositions are intended to provide guidance, and protection, inspiration for all traveling through the station.

Sol’Sax was born and raised in Brooklyn and currently lives and works in Brooklyn. He received a BFA with honors from the Cooper Union and an MFA with honors from Yale School of Art. Sol’Sax produces objects, images and performances that fuse African-American cultural heritages like hip-hop, house, reggae, soul, jazz, blues, and spirituals with traditional African religions like Yoruba, Congo, Mende, Akan, and Fon.

Sol’Sax has received notable honors in sculpture including a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Sculpture and a Guggenheim Fellowship in Sculpture. He was the first artist to be given a solo show at Rush Arts and has exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, the Queens Museum, the Museum of the City of New York, the Studio Museum in Harlem, MoMA PS1, SculptureCenter, and the Fowler Museum in Los Angeles, among other venues.
