A laser cut facade of the Cooper Union Foundation Building, updated with the signs and symbols of the student protests against tuition at Cooper Union. The streamers are from the 2012 day of action, the "Free Education to All" banner from the December 2012 lock-in, and the red-illuminated windows of the President's office from the 65 day-long student occupation. Two halves of a wooden (ash) stanchion flank the frame.
