The Working World

This corner panel depicts two of the most important supports of business - energy and finance. Capital and finance are depicted at the top with symbols of foreign currencies, the world's stock exchanges and electronic money transfer. The section below it is divided by green energy technologies on top and the fuels mainly in use now on the bottom.

Flowing across the twenty foot long glass front are lines - drawn to suggest the connections on an electronic board - that link energy and finance to the world of business. The lines, invoking a sense of rapid movement, shift in meaning and form. At various intervals are symbols, formulas and typographical elements describing international business today.
