"Oklahoma: Scenic View" is a public artwork boasting well-balanced and unique sculpted tables as well as an art wall that, all together, creates a harmonious composition. This installation serves as a warm welcome to the Oklahoma City Municipal Court

Design Concept:
Inspired by the open landscapes of Central Oklahoma, where red soil, wide skies, and tall grass meet in long, horizontal stretches. The installation translates these impressions—light, land, and movement—into a calming spatial composition for a high-traffic civic environment.

Accessibility & Universal Design:
Designed to accommodate all users, integrating height-appropriate surfaces, unobstructed circulation pathways, and visual contrast to assist visitors with varying mobility and visual abilities.
