Las Vegas, 2022

Painting for the City of Las Vegas

Zoom in on the world that surrounds us

And pay attention to the small lives

You will see the relationship between urban and Mother Nature.

With these utility blocks, I wanted to share a simple, good feeling, a daily blessing. By painting them over sized and highlighting their playful personalities, the intention is to make the viewer feel small again and bring back childhood memories of those times when everything was so big and mesmerizing. I saw the beautification of the utility box program as the opportunity to bring out feelings that speak to all humans. I treated each utility block as a canvas, each one honoring the small birds and bees of Las Vegas who live discreetly around us. These new daily commute landmarks, are here to set a pause in the high paced lives and remind people to take the time to be happy.
