Artist(s):

Project Description

One Vision LA captures the rich tapestry of Los Angeles through photographic collage presenting six individuals from diverse geographic locales during their Metro commute. Imbued with symbolism, the work signifies the ethos of communal gathering and unity through the presentation of the doily, alongside resilience and optimism, characteristics embodied by the surrounding dragonflies, acommon species in Los Angeles and the Western US.
