Title: Human Mosaic, 2024
Location: Ohio Wesleyan University,
Delaware, OH
Client: Ohio Wesleyan University
Size: 10 Portraits Total, each 4x3’
The collection of portraits that comprise this mural project celebrates the rich and complex tapestry that makes up our collective community. With a centered purpose of diversity, equity, and inclusion, the individuals represented will span a variety of backgrounds and identities. This diversity will be conveyed with regards to race, ethnicity, religion, age, gender identification, and body type.
A predominant theme throughout this mural project is the push and pull between individuality and universality. The portraits will convey specific individuals with specific themes and symbols relating to their own complex identity, while the color scheme and design choices will point toward a collective identity that we all share as humans. Symbols and patterns from each portrait will float off the picture plane and intermingle with the imagery of neighboring portraits, suggesting the universal human experience that we all share.
