By Chelsi Rossi
Chelsi Rossi designed this mural while thinking about unity, community, full circle, and her longing to connect with a community after so much time spent apart. In an abstract way, Rossi believes that time encapsulates the theme of ‘full circle’, specifically within the rhythms of nature that we witness each day. We observe ‘unity’ in the desert in spite of the sparse resources that allow our breathtaking ecosystems to flourish. She depicts the rhythm of our desert ecosystem in her mural.
After finding herself with a growing collection of paint from previous mural projects, Rossi decided she wanted to engage the surrounding neighborhood community by inviting them to use the leftover paint from this project to paint flower pots. In this way, neighborhood members created something personal to commemorate this new mural in their neighborhood and their time spent with Rossi.
