The artists fabricated their playful wall frieze in rolled, bent and welded aluminum panels that form a series of intertwined shapes and wall ornaments.  Inspired by The Art Guys' extensive collection of 1950's comic books, the images were selected to provide a humorous pause for harried travelers.  From a distance, the frieze appears to be just a swirling cloud of reflective forms. The objects reveal themselves as you move closer.
The work was developed in collaboration with the Aviation Department and the “D" Concourse architects, DWL Architects.​
