For the mural dedicated to my mommy I decided to play with the concept of the stairs and sound effects traveling up them. When I was growing up my mom had a stay at home job as a courtroom transcriptionist. I would be on the first floor of our house and could always hear her fast and loud typing noises. When I would go up the stairs the sound would get louder and louder the closer to her room/office I would get. I thought this would be an interesting idea for the mural since it involves stairs. She also had a story that sticks in my head of when she was taking the Bar exam in college she brought in a typewriter and it stopped working. She said she found someone in the exam who let her borrow their extra typewriter but that one also broke. Instead of giving up she did everything by hand and passed the bar exam on her first try without letting the initial setbacks stop her. That’s why I decided to have the graphic of the 80s typewriter at the top of the stairs. I love my mom and I wanted to brag about her for a second.
