Photograph of a glass mosaic bench created by artist Emma Amos in 1996 in Atlanta, Georgia. The colorful design embedded on the bench resembles a patchwork quilt, and the pattern extends to the ground in front of the bench. Several smaller mosaics are embedded in the ground beyond the bench; one depicts a black-and-white rooster.
