Multi-family residences: murals to support the pursuit of happiness

SIKOA is one of the main constructors in Guadeloupe, an island of the French West Indies, near Saint Marteen. This mural was part of a massive project that took 3 years to complete.

Over the course of several months, I met with the constructors and architects to gather all the necessary information. Together, we selected the locations and I created dozens of colorful and meaningful murals to enhance the social housing, local shops and offices located all through the neighborhood.

For over 50 years, SIKOA has worked in favor of families of Guadeloupe who have difficulties in accessing housing under the current market conditions. This construction company has for core mission to restore and maintain social and urban cohesion. The choice of the mural themes were all turned towards these messages.

Dorothee Lynn, was a major part of the cultural development in Guadeloupe.
