Park Street 1909, 14’x16’: Park Street 1909 provides a glimpse into the history of nearby Park Street, and the streetcar line which used to serve it.

Egret, 14’x7’: The Egret design reflects the site’s proximity to the Oakland estuary, and the native wildlife which frequents the channel.  While the artwork is located in an industrial area, it reveals the natural ecosystem located just one block away.
