Day 223: Capitol Box Art

On my way to meet S at The Press for Happy Hour tonight, I passed by the Capitol Box Art at the corner of 16th & K Streets:


This piece, by Janine Mapurunga, is entitled "Welcome Home." I really enjoy the different perspectives on food and baking and pasta in this creation, and it's in a particularly fitting location in the midst of multiple restaurants along the 16th Street corridor.

Here's the artist's statement about her own work:
If you asked me to choose one word by which to define my work, I would choose Storytelling.
A curiosity about the human condition and an eagerness to connect with others are the main driving forces behind my work. In my projects I provide an opportunity for people to tell their story and, in so doing, I establish a connection with them.
