Be everywoman LA by Davia King
1801 Pico Blvd
This poem I wrote summarizes [this mural] perfectly: To evolve as the \ Human Species \ Forgive and heal \ Through empathy… \ And then compassion \ Because there is no truth except in action. – Davia King
Inspire by Marcel “SEL” Blanco
1002 Pico Blvd
Both murals were organized by Beautify Earth and commissioned by the Clare Foundation, a facility that helps people with drug addiction to get back on their feet. I wanted to create something that would stimulate positive thought for both the people visiting the center and the surrounding community. Each piece presents a person in thought. What are they thinking? What have they been through? The birds are flying free to represent the possibility of where their future is headed. Like a bird, they, too, are free to head in any direction – the choice is theirs. – SEL
