The Park West Station is located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Miami. As a site-responsive art installation and a peace memorial tribute to the city's multicultural community, the floor, formed from bluestone slabs, becomes a circular cosmogram. 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. The cosmogram celebrates Miami as a place of spiritual renaissance.
