Leaf of Life, 2006

Faceted glass in platform windscreens

Noel Copeland's artwork celebrates the abundance of flora and fauna in the Bronx. Leaf of Life honors the parks and gardens within the area, such as the Bronx Botanical Garden, the famous Bissel Gardens, local community gardens and the Bronx Zoo. Recreating the organic forms and structure found in nature, the artist transforms the station with radiant faceted glass panels located on the station platforms.
