‘Resilience’

Creative Theory is a “culture-focused marketing agency” created in 2015 to utilize art and visual content to help translate “pivotal cultural moments” authentically and honestly. The team recently partnered with Capital One and art designer Gregory Fisk to commission a 2,500 square foot mural in Washington, D.C.’s Union Market. The interactive art installation is focused on telling the story of perseverance amidst the pandemic.

Dubbed the “R Mural Project,” the word resilience is painted in bold, colorful letters surrounded by smaller sidewalk installations featuring a digital interactive portal that provides on-demand pandemic relief resources and highlights minority-owned business. The digital portal also features 60-second stories of resilience from people all over the city to spark community-wide conversations during a time where most Washingtonians feel isolated as a result of quarantine and social distancing.

The Creative Theory team said that despite the pandemic and the emotional tailspin that has been 2020, they wanted to focus on creating something that would connect people and let them know they’re not alone. (from the Because of Them We Can website)

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Love this! It’s a much needed message. V

Because of the last four years the "ENCE" makes me automatically think of Trump/Pence, and that kind of spoils the mural for me.

I like you photo of this especially the way to clouds are around the building but the actual artwork is not my favorite of the series. Too rigid and too dark for such a positive word! V

A big improvement over the bland look of a commercial facade. V

Nice Mural a nice way to deliver a message using a puzzle idea to discover the special word.
The Mural put the mind to work instantly trying to assemble the letters to a meaning even though there are many hint on the Mural.
Nice sharp work as always.
Vote.

A very particular mural, even if the shapes of the house are so square and the colors so violent that I'm not sure they can give a completely positive visual impact. Your documentary photo, as well as the others in this series, is very interesting
