DescriptionAt the bottom of the print individuals, predominately male, are entering on the left and emerging, on the right, from a stairwell leading into a subway tunnel. Circling the tunnel are buildings. Above the tunnel and reaching into the sky is a towering building surrounded by light. Light beams emanate from this image suggesting energy and power.
