They Tried to Bury Us
Painted on a brick building, this piece consists of a red and pink background with a child in various colors of blue taking up the majority of the wall space. The child is holding yellow flowers in a raised hand, and wears a green watch in addition to a necklace that says 'Light.' Beside the child's raised arm, there is white text that reads "They tried to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds."

Anti-racist and activist work has been an ongoing part of this artist's work, and this piece predates the murder of George Floyd.

Four Harmonious Friends
A mural originally created in 2018.
The mural is of Bhutanese folktale called the ‘Four harmonious friends’- the elephant, the monkey, the rabbit and the bird. Paintings and artwork of the four friends can be found all over Bhutan and Tibet. The main moral value this tale represents is communal living.
