Octopus Mural

The idea behind the design is the past and the future. Both, I feel, are incredibly important to our region. The left side represents the past and the right represents the future. The man knows that it's in her hands, and he gracefully gives her his blessing and confidence to create a brighter future. The day the mural was started was a beautiful one. So cold, but so many showed up, young and old. This was a community project and was meant to be ongoing. My hope was that it would never be completed and people would continue to add their mark to it. I hope to see it change and evolve over time just like I hope to see the change and evolution in us. - Jenn Noble Shepherd
