  • Twelve people pose in front of The Renaissance Mural, honoring the Bronzeville community’s rich history and bright future. The Bronzeville cityscape is painted a light blue, with dark blue accents that give the buildings and grided streets depth. Pops of color are reserved for the grayish white swirling of clouds, a pinkish purple sunset in the sky, and four figures. Two of the painted figures are out of image. The two painted figures in the middle represent a brilliant future as they are animated in color. The figure on the left is smiling while wearing a graduation cap that melds into green binary code painted into the word, “Bronzeville” in blue letters and a red background. The figure on the right wears a hard hat with the left half depicting a dark blue colored blueprint of a city scape with the top part of the hard hat depicting an eco-conscious city scene.

  • In a staggered position, four yellow metal structures resembling magnifying glasses emerge from a green garden that contains deep pink flowers and a slight amount of lavender. Discs made of bioplastics and plexiglass are located on the top of all four sculptures. The color palette of dark green, red, orange, and brown hues is consistently painted across all discs, while differentiated in their designs. The most forward-facing design reads, “I love you” in dark brown and dark green paint with a nebula like design of orange, red, and green swirling above the text. The other three designs, abstract and individual, resemble cell activity in a petri dish. Green scenery from the garden fills in spaces of the discs where there is no paint, adding further dimension to the imagery and experience of these sculptures.
