New Calypso, 1994
Incised bluestone

Park West Station is located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Miami. As a peace memorial tribute to the city's multicultural community, the floor, formed from bluestone slabs, becomes a circular cosmological map. The artists worked closely with the Black Archives History and Research Foundation to identify historical figures, local literary symbolism, poetic texts, and song fragments which are sandblasted into the stone.New Calypso celebrates Miami as a place of spiritual renaissance.
