The hidden-away mural

We found this at the entrance to an apartment parking garage in Foggy Bottom, a neighborhood we used to live in years ago and the home of George Washington University and the US State Department. According to the WashingtonDC.com website:

“Painted in 2017 by Aniekan Udofia, this mural captures Foggy Bottom's industrial past and the educational spirit of its present. The mural's central figure is a Mad-Max style glass-blower, a reference to the Glass House, an early Foggy Bottom industry. The vibrant mural also shows factory smoke, the three red stars and stripes of the DC flag and George Washington's face and pencils, two references to nearby George Washington University.”

Unfortunately, I couldn't move the trash bins out of the way.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly unsharp.

Beautiful mural. Too bad it is hidden away and competing with the garbage bins.

Wow, there's a lot being said in this one. It's so colorful and interesting, but odd that it's hidden away. V

A great mural totally disrespected by the placement of the dumpster.

A vibrant mural and interesting information about it. It is a shame the bins are there.
