Description / Interpretation: 

The artist wanted to visualize the power of art in bringing culture to dry/void areas of society. The concept for this mural was made up at the location. Featured is Che Guevara, and was partially inspired by Carlos Castañeda’s text “Separate Reality”. The mural was restored in 1979 without the authorization of the artist, resulting in the destruction of some of the major elements. It was created with the help of a City Recreation Grant, which donate the paint
