- The mural features a combination of sharp lines, as well as curvy drip-like circles that intersect and overlap. The mural is made of mostly geometric shapes, including rectangles, triangles, circles, and cubes all varying in size, creating depth and layering. The colors used are vibrant and high contrast, including neon yellow, pink, cyan, purple, and green all set on a black background to really make the colors pop. The mural covers the entirety of the wall and uses overlapping to create a 3D effect.
- Subject
- "Building Blocks" draws inspiration from the Olympic Rings, with each cube symbolizing an abstract interpretation of the rings and representing unity among cultures. The triangle creates a foundation for the rings, illustrating the challenges we overcome through collaboration.
