In this work, Kubinyi created a vision of modern industry. A woman sits on a desk featuring academic symbols: a beaker for chemistry, a book for history and literature, and a leafy plant for biology. Beyond her, human creations fill the landscape. A barge floats down a river lined with impressive bridges and factory smokestacks, while above an airplane flies beneath what may be a visual interpretation of radio waves. The busy image suggests an expansive future that awaits humanity.
