“of the same clay”

sunny dayz mural festival, claremore, OK

Collaborated with Camila Leão and Nichole Bucholz to design and install a 660 SF exterior mural for the Sunny Dayz mural festival in Oklahoma. The theme, “Of the Same Clay,” centers on the Mexican saying, “We are all made of the same clay, but not the same mold” (Todos somos hechos de la misma arcilla, pero no del mismo molde). Our collective design embodies Cherokee pottery and textile arts, local plants and animals, and celebrates our Latin American and indigenous identities.
