This one makes the mosaic look like a highway advertizing billboard. Context matters. Perhaps the underpass worked because it was reminiscent of the interior of a building, a shrine. Grit contrasting with beauty. Light inside a tunnel. Mystery discovered. Element of surprise…
Perhaps it could be somehow incorporated into one of the new railroad track underpasses that I believe are planned in Leucadia and Cardiff? Alternately, create a "grotto" under the Cardiff Kook for a double whammy experience. Path could lead down and behind the statue to view, perhaps through a wrought iron grate. (Stainless steel more likely.)
