"What we did here was create a collaborative space, have workshops with people, ask them what they want to see in a mural, [and] how they want to be represented," Yawar explained. "Then I took all those pieces and put them together into this design that hopefully reflects a little bit of their voices."
"I want them to get the sense of a community that is proud of their home [and] their neighborhood," Yawar told Brooklyn Paper.
