The scene, set on three sections at the platform level, represents on the right, a jungle; and then, moving to the left, more civilized settings of a farmland, industry, and the city. To the far left is a desert with blue waves approaching it. Three stylized cut-out figures, painted half white and half black, represent international races, and appear as if getting on a MARTA train.
