Birmingham Persian Wall is a site-specific installation of twenty-one vessels—some over three feet in diameter—that cluster on four adjacent walls in the museum's lobby. Each unit, in a rich shade of yellow, orange or blue, bears a rippling pattern that is clear or in a contrasting color. The vessels, each attached to a cylindrical metal post, float about five inches off the wall.

This is a painting of an African American woman standing in an art gallery looking at abstract paintings and sculptures. Her back is to the viewer. She has a short, black bob, a white short sleeve shirt tucked into a white skirt that hits at her knees. She is putting her weight on her left hip. She holds what looks like to be a museum guide or a newspaper in her left hand. The walls of the gallery are painted a robins egg blue. The artist's signature is in red and located in the bottom right corner of the painting.
