Overview

A combination mural and ceramic tile mosaic, featuring neighborhood youth athletes, non athletes and youth with special needs for Nike in the Watts community. 9’x70′, 2021

Goals

The goal was to create a powerful public artwork representing the community and causing the Nike Watts Community Store to stand out.

Process

I worked with neighborhood residents and steakholders to see what images or idea were important to the community in order to create a piece where they feel seen and heard.
