About this mural:

PASSERINE is part of an ongoing series of murals called FORMATIONS. This series explores the use of vibrant color, patterns, flora/fauna and symbolism to disrupt spaces found in urban environments. The intent is to create organic imagery that helps us engage with places that might otherwise feel sterile or overlooked. It provides an opportunity for unexpected wonder, contemplation and joy. In this mural, the artist uses sweeping color and bold lines to create movement and stylized flora to symbolize change and growth. The patterns are a visual translation of the song of the redwing black bird that is perched to the left. Also known as passerines, blackbirds are said to bring good luck, protection and prosperity. They sing to find a place for themselves and as a reminder that the forces of nature are at work for us all.
