Michael Singer was selected through a competition to design and fabricate a security barrier for two plazas of the Palm Beach County Courthouse. This project uses public art as way to aesthetically enhance a functional need. The sculptural elements are placed on the plaza are comprised of massive white granite carved blocks specially positioned to prevent vehicles from breaching or winding their way through the configuration. Each of the carved blocks are inscribed with inspirational quotes regarding justice. As part of Singer's process, the Judges at the courthouse chose the quotes for each granite piece. The project also includes a granite and copper roofed pavilion placed in the plaza to provide shelter from the sun and rain. The project was sponsored by the Palm Beach Cultural Council and Palm Beach County.
