The natural habitat adjacent to the Old Concord Road station and neighboring Eastway Park influenced Chandra Cox’ content for her art at the station. Under the canopies, each glass windscreen is etched with a supersized image of a grasshopper, ants, dragonfly, mouse, and other critters indigenous to the site. The colorful metal cladding also has similar imagery of grass, birds and ants, complementing the etched glass critters laser cut into the aluminum surface.

Old Concord Road is a light rail station on the LYNX Blue Line in the Eastway neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. It opened on March 16, 2018, as part of the Blue Line extension to the UNC Charlotte campus and features a pair of side platforms.
