Information posted with this mural celebrating the Southwest quadrant of DC states: “Playing with movement and echoing the constant flow of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, an abstract and refracted intertwined S and W form mirrors the diverse and spirited community that calls this neighborhood home. 'SW' celebrates the harmony of those who live work and traverse this underpass, a vital connector and artery of the neighborhood.”

I read about a new series of murals funded by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities in Southwest DC decorating the walls of an underpass, so the three of us went to check them out. They weren’t the easiest thing to photograph, due to poor lighting, parked cars, busy bike lanes on either side of the roadway and traffic traveling through the underpass, but I managed to get all of them, one way or another (and lived to tell the tale).
