Mural Project
Our vision was to create a mural that serves as a monumental timestamp, capturing the thoughts, ideas, and culture of the young people involved. To bring this vision to life, we partnered with Johnny Matos, known as Crash One of Tats Cru. With deep roots in hip-hop culture, Crash One brought authenticity and expertise to the project.
