The piece holds a deeper layer: thousands of names are intricately embedded, honoring the community and frontline healthcare workers who provided steadfast support during the pandemic. Through light and color, "Mother Birds" becomes a symbol of healing, growth, and the power of shared strength.

Based on the concept of past to present, encompassing the interplay of place, home, culture, and identity, Bronx: Heart, Homeland depicts silhouetted images of people living in the urban neighborhood of the Bronx. The eight black stainless steel units, uniquely integrated within the station environment to create a narrative associated with everyday life in the neighborhood--a life, for most, that revolves around the subway station. The focal points of connections are linked between the home and the heart, both literally and metaphorically. Each silhouetted representation is displayed in different positions: skateboarding, selling books, walking on the street, and taking pathways to the station. Man-made fragments of the 20th and 21st century of Bronx history are shown, such as the subway line, networks, electricity cables, telephone poles, and other elements. The sculptures are imbued with visible presence not only for those who built them but for those here today, tomorrow, and beyond.

By honoring the beauty of the West, the changing seasons, and the unique plants and flowers of Ogden, De Carvalho created “Dreamscapes of the West” to commemorate Bernard DeVoto, "Utah's most accomplished writer.” The artwork is inspired by Utah's natural beauty and DeVoto's eloquent writings advocating for the preservation of America West's grasslands, rangelands, forests, mountains, canyons, and deserts. The art pieces are divided into two-panel paintings, which will be installed on bus stops on 25th Street and Monroe Boulevard, the same street where Bernard Devoto grew up with his family. As he once stated: “It is imperative to maintain portions of the wilderness untouched so that a tree will rot where it falls, a waterfall will pour its curve without generating electricity, a trumpeter swan may float on uncontaminated water - and moderns may at least see what their ancestors knew in their nerves and blood”. The piece is dedicated to Devoto's preservation efforts to protect natural habitats and conserve biodiversity.
