Breezy and Delightful is a kinetic sculpture artwork by Paul Tzanetopoulos, installed in the station platform. Tzanetopoulos focused on designs that expresses the culture of the communities in Long Beach. The artwork features rotating, wind-driven kinetic sculptures mounted in the pylons on the station platform. Each pair of counter-rotating disks is perforated with graphic patterns, allowing sea breeze and sunlight to animate the designs and the shadows cast on the platform. The cut-out graphic patterns were inspired by Tzanetopoulos' ongoing body of work based on Marcel Duchamp's Roto Series, which uses graphic elements and illusions of 3-dimensional and conceptual structures. These rotating sculptures illustrate Duchamp's concepts and are part of Tzanetopoulos' larger interactive installation series.
