This mural was commissioned by @the_diatribe as part of #the49507project
“Everybody Eats”
The Mural is an attempt to encapsulate themes of love, aspiration and community.
Reading from right to left the story begins with one person running with their wealth. We then realize that he is not alone as others are running with theirs. We finally see that they are running to their family to share the wealth. I think this important in any community of people. We must have the will to share our wealth with each other - whether knowledge, opportunity funds or food, for a healthy community to exist, it’s important to help each other, fill each other’s gaps, so we can become more a well-rounded community.
“Running” in my work has a few interpretations. One of which is when I depict someone running often times it is unclear if they are running from something or towards something. In life I feel we often have to run, or feel like we have to run. It’s worth it when we run for the right reasons.
The Afros loosely resemble halos to represent higher consciousness and a sense of higher purpose.
The Broken Arrow in the first part of the mural (right side) represents the obstacles people face when running though life. It being broken is a testament to one’s strength if they face life head-on.
