Decaying mural, Superior, Arizona, 2014

This mural once celebrated the blending of two cultures and two countries – the United States and Mexico. Today its colors still draw the eye, although the ravages of time, and perhaps vandals as well, obliterate two of the musicians. I built my image around the diagonal thrust of the shadow at lower left and the diagonal flow of the guitar at upper left. Mexican and American flags decorate that guitar, symbolizing two cultures united by a common love for music.
