The Marta station is a building constructed of straight walls that are highly undecorated. Most of the coloring of the building ranges from shades of light grey to dark grey, and there are not many ornate details within the building. However, on my way down a particular flight of steps, I encountered a very beautiful piece of artwork. It very much reminded me of something that one might see in a European museum. It appeared that certain figures of individuals and creatures were constructed out of stone and placed skillfully on a wall from one floor of the Marta station to the one below. It was, in a sense, very unexpected-yet beautiful. I thought to myself about why such an “elaborate” design would be located in such a “plain” building. I later realized that the creator of the building, and all those who contributed, must have had some rationale for the inclusion of such an unanticipated design.
