Metamorphosis
Philadelphia 2001 This 5000-square-foot mural was designed with homeless
men enrolled in a drug and alcohol recovery program at the Ridge
Avenue Shelter. The design depicts the struggle of homeless men
as they metamorphosize from addiction to wholeness, and the role
of family, shelter staff, and the wider community in this process.
The mural is the culmination of six intensive months of workshops
in photography, drawing, painting, metal work, mosaic, and digital
design. Residents created the metal butterflies which surround the
main figure and cast dramatic shadows on the wall. Commissioned
by the City of Philadelphia's Mural Arts Program. |
