Twelve Principles is a Metro Art commissioned sculptural artwork by Joe Lewis at Pacific Coast Highway Station. The project emphasizes shared values in a diverse world and is based on interviews conducted by the artist with over one hundred adults, children, students, and business people from various Long Beach communities. From these interviews, Lewis identified twelve principles deemed essential for a well-rounded person: Faith, Family, Humility, Hope, Honesty, Communication, Unity, Open Mindedness, Integrity, Education, Discipline, and Excellence.[5]
The artwork consists of twelve concrete, tile, and aluminum discs, each representing one of the principles. Each disc features an icon and text, designed to engage viewers in reflection on these shared values. In addition to the sculptural elements, Lewis produced a brochure containing writings by local students, exploring their thoughts on the twelve principles. Text for the project is presented in English, Spanish, and Khmer to reflect the cultural diversity of the community.[6]
