Fifty different types of beautiful Uruguayan marble can be found on the walls, pillars, and benches that line Uruguay's Congress Building. Instead of trying to show all of them, I move in and simplify my image by taking a closer vantage point. I want this picture to express the beauty of these decorative embellishments and the workmanship that went into them. I contrast four different kinds of marble with each other by leading the eye into the picture at lower left, then moving into the picture along the marble railing to the black diamond -- the focal point of this image. The diamond provides a strong contrast to the three different kinds of marble that flank it.
