At the same time, the design expands the conversation: the directional motifs reference Miami’s famously intricate highways, overpasses, and loops, echoing both the city’s circulatory systems of movement and the vines and plant life that thrive across its landscape. 

Each tile contains within it sky, water, terrazzo, and roadway (our collective modes of travel and connection, whether by foot, car, boat, or plane). When placed together in quadrants, the tiles align to form a larger composition: traffic loops set against an ocean horizon, where neighboring patterns meet at shared skies and waves.

The result is a lighthearted yet dynamic visual language that conveys motion, direction, and interconnectedness. It creates a narrative of Miami as a city in constant flow; its parts weaving together into a greater whole while remaining true to the traditions of repeating tile patterns and the playful spirit of the place itself.
