Cincinnati Love

The city of Cincinnati has always been a canvas for artistic expression, and its walls often tell stories that captivate both residents and visitors alike. I was able to give life through a vibrant mural that graces the walls of an apartment complex, Array, adding a burst of color, creativity, and charm to the urban landscape. Created by me, with the help of my talented husband, Corey, this stunning mural showcases a mesmerizing array of origami birds that not only bring a unique visual delight but also serve as a vibrant backdrop for photos, enriching the community's visual and social experience.

Origami, the traditional Japanese art of paper folding, is brought to life on a grand scale through the intricately designed birds that dominate the mural. Each bird is meticulously crafted, capturing the delicate and precise folds that make origami a captivating art form. As these birds take flight across the wall, they symbolize a sense of freedom, inspiration, and the idea that even the simplest things can take on incredible beauty.

The arrangement of the birds is carefully thought out, creating a sense of movement and rhythm. Their placement seems almost choreographed, as if they are engaged in a dance across the wall. This dynamic arrangement not only adds visual interest but also encourages viewers to explore the mural and discover new details with every glance.

This mural fosters a sense of pride and ownership among the residents. It's not just a piece of art; it's a representation of their community's identity and spirit. As they interact with the mural, it becomes a part of their stories, conversations, and daily lives, binding them together in a shared appreciation for art and beauty.

In a world where the ordinary can sometimes be mundane, this mural is a reminder that the extraordinary can be found in the most unexpected places.
