Sacramento State BECOMING Mural (2024)

During my final year of college, I applied to and was (miraculously!!) accepted as a muralist for Sacramento State's mural project which served as an anti-racism and inclusivity initiative. The theme for the year I participated in was "becoming". This was my first and largest-scale piece at 7x30 feet, located at the Ernest T. Tschannen Engineering Teaching and Research building alongside walls occupied by several other talented creatives. Read more about the project and find more coverage on the processes, unveiling, and more at the following:

Artist's Statement:
As a queer Filipino-American student majoring in Psychology and minoring in Women and
Gender Studies, I’ve developed a thorough understanding that has developed into an adoration
for intersectionality; the concept of the importance of recognizing the compounding identities of
individuals that result in differing life experiences. Through my four years attending Sacramento
State in both virtual spaces and physical, one commonality I have always shared with my peers
is our ultimate goal of graduation. This is reflected in my interpretation of the theme of
BECOMING - while nobody has had the exact same experiences, we all share a dream of this
milestone. The graduates in my proposal are with their younger selves, who are interacting
amiably with who they are in the process of developing into. I wanted to emphasize our pride as
Hornets through the portrayal of these students as jubilantly celebrating their future selves’
success in their own special ways, while they are all connected through the fact that they have
all worked hard to make those futures their realities. This piece also incorporates references to
the four seasons, symbolizing the paradoxical cycle of consistent changes that revolves through
our unique evolutions. I am in constant awe of how many different identities are not only
represented separately on our campus, but are able to coexist and collaborate in a way that
gives me deep optimism for the cultivation of an inclusive campus that encourages Hornets to
become their best selves together.

Acknowledgements
I am so endlessly grateful to Sacramento State for giving me the opportunity to do what I still consider to be my greatest accomplishment, as well as the staff at Blue Line Arts for all their support. I'm thankful for my fellow artists who I had the pleasure of working alongside, as well as all of my friends and loved ones who stopped by to say hi, watch me work, and even helped me paint when they had the time.I'm also deeply appreciative of my lifelong partner Ronnie, who had the patience of a saint through every hour of the process. He served as my driver, heavy lifter, and primary painting assistant even though his cybersecurity expertise attests that this was not his wheelhouse, but did everything he could nonetheless. I love you honey!
