Project Description

The artist chose four elements: family, faith, work, and history to represent the spirit of the East Los Angeles community.

Two walls in English (faith and history) and two in Spanish (trabajo and familia) reflected the present reality of spoken language in the area. The lettering, done in bold and colorful urban art style, made it relevant to the youth who viewed the walls on a daily basis.

Artist Statement

“Work is the most vital because it literally creates the house you live in and creates pride in the members of the community as well as the commerce that drives everyday life.”
