The project began as a pass time, but little by little, Selaron’s enthusiasm for the project grew, continuing his work on the project. In the following 20 years, Selaron used more than 2,000 tiles from all over the world to turn the 250 steps in front of the house into a piece of art. The background of the steps on both sides is red, and various patterns are spelled out with other tiles of different colors.
