Trees

The cluster of tall, thin steel pipes rising from the sidewalk serves as a sculpture titled Traveling Man. These structures feature intricate, laser-cut metal panels that form the shape of a robotic figure. In the mid-twentieth century, this site sat on the tracks of the Houston and Texas Central Railroad, where musicians and laborers gathered. Today, the sculpture honors those arrivals by mimicking the industrial history of the neighborhood with a whimsical, gear-driven aesthetic that catches the light during the day.
