The Truth is I Welcome You

Recognized by Art Basel, Winter 2018-2019

Speech bubble signs on light posts along Miracle Mile feature messages of truths in 22 of the most spoken languages of the community.

Four comic book speech-bubble inspired artwork benches throughout Coral Gables provide a moment of pause to consider who we are, what we value, where we come from, and where we are going as a diverse group of people sharing the same space and social goals.
