This gateway formation
invites the visitor to the modern side of Lawrence.
A metal grate-like platform
acts as ground level with the viewer's perspective originating
from below. There is an industrial yet agrarian feel with
plants and structures emerging above the surface.
The emergent pillars
give one the sense of established strength because of their
massive iceberg-like footings.
