Mural: I Flourish Within Chaos (detail)

2024

A flower-like pattern that could as well serve the idea of fireworks. The pattern is important to resemble the overwhelm and chaos within my mind. 

The pattern is flowing out of the mouth of the teller and creating chaos. 

The title I Flourish Within Chaos is a reference to cult leaders taking advantage of chaoting times, when people are most vulnerable. 

In the mural there is a window and a door showing my childhood house/backyard.
