Glass Mosaic in mezzanine

Community Garden is a glass mosaic mural that fills the entire mezzanine wall at the Bedford Park Boulevard subway station. The imagery depicts a lush fantasy garden of colorful, oversized fruit, vines, insects, and animals. In Dezsö's garden, the community can experience the artist's lush imagination through her colors and animal forms that have an enchanting quality. Her garden is intended to delight commuters, inspiring them with the playful images and intense colors.
