Sacred Water addresses community crisis and collaboration. Looking to water as an abstract/ visual inspiration, the mural prompts viewers to address how local issues bring communities together regardless of race, socio-economic status, gender and cultural backgrounds. It encourages a united front, a stronger Newark.

“My murals are mindfully painted healing portals for the public. It is an honor to give back to the city that raised me and inspired me to think big. The patterns of my work are the language of the earth, and the consciousness of our humanity. It is my intention that through my art, we recreate our relationship with the land.” -GERA
