In 2014, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work Changing Identities by Catharine Magel for this station.[6] Changing Identities honors four individuals killed in a bus crash and reflects on the spiritual and eternal aspects of human nature, our connection to the universe, and our solitary journeys through life.[7]
