FIU Mural Design Collaboration

This mural raises awareness about endangered animals in South Florida. Using Photoshop’s transparency tools, the design symbolizes how these species have been overlooked due to corporate exploitation. Each patterned square pairs with a transparent animal silhouette, allowing viewers to feel their presence even when they can't see it. Inspired by fiber arts, the mural emphasizes that care for the environment and its species is essential to human connection. The loose, asymmetrical red stitching represents the shared life flow within one imperfect but united ecosystem — a reminder that protecting our planet is protecting ourselves.
