Mosaic Stairway

The Mosaic Stairway on Moraga Street is a massive public art project that transformed a standard set of concrete stairs into a vibrant, 163-step ascent from sea to stars. The design begins at the base with shimmering depictions of ocean life like starfish and swirling fish, then moves through patterns of land creatures and birds, and finally climbs into a night sky filled with stars, planets, and a radiant sunburst at the summit. This transition serves as a vertical narrative, turning a steep climb into an immersive experience of the natural world.
