Breonna Taylor - Here We Celebrate Your Life
Plywood panels over windows. The wood is spray painted white almost to the edges, resembling a cloud. Across the top in large blue letters are the words "Breonna Taylor" and directly under that in smaller letters "Here We Celebrate Your Life". To the right in large letters "June 5th" and underneath that "1993-2020" indicating Breonna Taylor's birthday, date of birth and death. On the left is a bold black jagged square outlined in neon yellow with the stylized words "Your Spirit is STRONG". Directly underneath her first name is a full body portrait of Breonna Taylor. She wears a dark blue dress and carries a light blue clutch in her left hand, she has heels on and is glancing at the viewer over her left shoulder, her hair is long and wavy. She wears a crown of flowers, two butterflies flutter near her head and wildflowers are painted near her feet and on either side of the mural. Handwritten notes to or in remembrance of Breonna are scattered over the white space of the mural.

ARRAY's LEAP Presents “Blue Is The Color We See Before We Die”
Returning to the scene of Yvette Smith’s murder at the hands of Officer Daniel Willis, Delita Martin incorporates patterns, colors, and objects of symbolism into a sweeping mixed-media mural to peel back the mask of Ms. Smith’s murderer. Delita's layering of technique and material signifies a liminal space – the space between the waking life and the spirit life. By fusing this visual language with oral storytelling, she offers space for the narratives of women of color to live on. In this piece, Delita’s layering includes: shadow figures of Ms. Smith’s neighbors as background reference, a cone flower as a symbol of strength and healing, Ms. Smith’s body is drawn realistically however her face bears similarity to an African mask. A red poppy flower, which is often associated with remembrance, appears in the area where Ms. Smith was shot. Willis, appearing ominously, unmasks his face which is partially covered by the Blue Lives Flag, and Martin calls for him to be held accountable by positioning him facing the viewer. The finished mural, sized 98 inches wide x 72 inches high, combines collaging, drawing, painting, printmaking, and sewing techniques.
