On stop #58 of virtual tour, Through Looking Glass has quite a bit of information including the authorial intent. Sculptor Mark Leichliter explains, "I was trying to have a way for Little Rock to see itself…I messed with the idea of reflections. On one side, it has a reflection that’s a single [piece]. It represents the community and how it works as a whole. On the other side, it’s all broken up into individual [pieces] and that represents the individuals of the community and how they work together to make it work."
