Crossing, Brooklyn, New York City, New York, 2011

The upper part of massive mural known as “Great Walls: Justice Everywhere,” symbolizes cultural opportunities for the residents of this inner city South Brooklyn neighborhood. The mural, created by New York City’ Groundswell Community Mural Projects, is colorful even in the deep shade, and draws scale and strength from the traffic lights that I layer before it in my image. The lights are a metaphor for a crossing, a place of decision. The mural illuminates the opportunities that await such decisions.
