13 Mar Flourish
Mural
Location: Lower floor between Boba Loca and White House Black Market
Flourish is a celebration of nature and its hard working pollinators, as well as a reflection of harmony in duality and collaboration. A variety of creatures (both of night and day) work in tandem to nurture our ecosystem and allow us to flourish.
The process of two artists with distinct individual styles, working together to beautify a local environment, is also an example of this duality. Collaboration is imperative to discovery and, most of all, growth.
