Description: This artwork consists of three seven-foot diameter mosaic insets placed in the sidewalk at Valley Street and Westlake Avenue, and at Valley Street and Fairview Avenue. The mosaics feature silhouettes of a man, woman, dog and cat, with punctuated speech bubbles, encouraging viewers to complete the thought. Sollod’s intention is that these thoughts come from the internal conversations we have with ourselves as we wait for the lights to change at busy intersections.

Location:
 Northwest and southwest corners of Valley Street & Fairview Avenue North, southeast corner of Valley Street and Westlake Avenue North, Seattle WA 98109
