Participatory Budgeting Murals
Address:
1800 W. Pratt Blvd. (South Wall)
Description:
The mural consists of fifteen pairs of paper boats, in a rainbow of colors, floating on expanding and intersecting ripples creating a dynamic pattern. “Interrelation” emphasizes social diversity and unity in the complexity of its ripples. It is a resolution and a promise of harmony from variety and contrast. The artist wants this mural to remind everyone that we all have a responsibility to our communities and our nation, and that we have already pledged our commitment when we agreed to partake our rights.
