Artists Jonathan Russell and Saori Ide said, “Our idea is to create playful and eye-catching sculptures that both pedestrians and drivers alike can enjoy."

The public art project is intended to enhance and enliven San Pablo Ave in El Cerrito. The abstract metal sculptures are located in pairs or trios along the length of San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito as follows:
• Two sculptures near the Carlson Blvd. intersection (east & west sides)
• Three sculptures near City Hall - Manila/Bay View intersection (2 east side, 1 west side)
• Two sculptures at the Potrero Ave. intersection (east & west sides)
• Three sculptures near the Hill Street intersection (1 east side, 2 west side)
• Two sculptures near the Conlon Ave. intersection (east & west sides)
