Art en Route: "Reaching for Miami Skies"
Hand-formed -and painted ceramic tiles  1994
Artist: Connie Lloveras, Miami, Florida

Connie Lloveras's ceramic mosaic within the Brickell Station's coffered ceiling is designed to produce a patchwork quilt effect. People representing Miami's multicultural community imprinted their handprints directly into the raw clay tile. The hand images, while individually unique and diverse, become universal, illustrating the broader community of mankind. "Reaching for Miami Skies" is intended to evoke a feeling of unity in viewers. It implies "the sky is the limit," and that there is no end to what can be achieved with peace and solidarity among people in Miami.
