To me, this piece is meaningful because it's unexpected. It makes you think about a place in a new way and allows access to an otherwise inaccessible place. It serves as a reminder to pay attention to the little places and that you might not realize what's right next to your daily walk to class or commute.

It's also surprising. I don't think many people know about or expect to see land art in metro Atlanta.

This video by Emory University is a conversation between George Trakas and Rosemary Magee, Vice President and Secretary of Emory University. It was filmed in 2011.
