We wanted our mural to be a unifying piece of art, so we decided to incorporate many different cultural patterns into it.
We looked at patterns from every country in the world (which meant hundreds of patterns!) and focused on the similarities and differences in each region to in order to pick our representative patterns.
In a way, cultural patterns themselves also represented our community because, while we all have some differences, we also have many similarities that are able to connect us all.
By using cultural patterns, we are recognizing the different individuals within our community, while also bringing everyone together.
I think that there’s so much potential for this to be such a powerful and unifying design, and I’m really excited to see what it will turn out like!
