Little Haiti, Miami, FL

Designed for the DOH clinic in the “Little Haiti” neighborhood of Miami. The mosaic illustrates the precarious journey of the Haitian refugees as they leave Haiti and arrive in Miami. Strongly colored ceramic tile is used to characterize the spirit of the people, and glass tiles in subtle colors suggest the challenges that lie ahead. This exterior mosaic project was constructed in three sections, using materials that are durable and will withstand the climate.

Ceramic tile, tumbled marble, Venetian glass, smalti and travertine on cement fiber board.
