Up from the Ashes, Lerner Building, Jacksonville, Florida, 2014

I photographed part of the top half of a mural sprawling the width of Jacksonville’s vacant Lerner Building, a joint collaboration by local artists who are trying to urge residents to support downtown renewal and see it return to the epicenter it once was. Although I cropped out its “Rise from the Ashes” slogan, I relate the head of a soaring bird, perhaps an eagle representing a symbolic bird rising like a phoenix from the ashes, to a row of windows reflecting abstractions of the renovated 1926 Roosevelt Hotel just across the street, now converted to luxury apartments known as The Carling.
