Circular paving for the entryway of the Hannon Library at Southern Oregon University, Ashland, Oregon. The design is made up of three overlapping images: the looping curves that rotate around the perimeter are a diagram of wind patterns on the Earth's surface; the central spiral motif is from an astrophysics computer model of spiral arm galaxy information; the closely spaced lines that fan out around the circumference is a pattern from fluid mechanics (physics).

The border is a classical motif found on a mosaic fragment from the Middle East.
