The artist created a nine-feet by two-feet thick semi-circular stone wall. This rough hewn wall encloses a space that is 50’ in diameter. Two flagstone-covered walkways slowly descend into the memorial so that the visitor is almost three feet below the average grade of the surrounding plaza. The 60’ inner wall cradles five sweeping tiers of glass bricks. These glass bands are made up of solid case glass “bricks” on which the names and departments of City employees who have lost their lives in the line of duty are engraved.
