This artwork is comprised of steel letters planted with wildflowers which together spell out the word "Onward". The artist also planted native grasses in arcs across the campus. The size of each arc is proportional to the population of Austin by decade since 1903 - the first year official birth records were kept in the Office of Vital records.
Luu will be present to speak about his work.
