For this week’s blog post, I was inspired by Angelica’s talk to create a mural in the hallway space provided. I drew inspiration from my mom, and from her love for gardening. I was lucky enough to get to enjoy her beautiful garden growing up, and to enjoy a space where I could forge a love for nature and the outdoors. It was also significant as a gathering space for family and friends, and has always been a way that I connect with my mom. I think that a garden is a perfect way to symbolize someone who has been so generous, nurturing and resilient. I chose to include dahlias, my mom’s favorite flowers, in the mural.
