In 2014, Metro's Arts in Transit program commissioned the work ''Changing Identities'' by Catharine Magel for this station. ''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.
