La Memoria de la Tierra: UCLA, 2022
10′ x 80′ (triptych)
Digital reproduction on glass panels
This mural is a piece of land in memory, including Westwoods original people and the land rivers original state. The story of Westwood flows over the three, 26-foot long panels; starting off is a tribute to the land, detailing where the Los Angeles River had once flowed and where the Gabrielino/Tongva tribes and native flora and fauna thrived.
My role was to research the history of UCLA since its inception, propose key figures to the team, pain the background in collaboration with my peers and create a palette to streamline the work for the team.
