In Partnership with Tender Mercies. This mural is a tribute to items that many take for granted but are hugely important to the impoverished and homeless, including those Tender Mercies serves.
The life-sized door in the middle conveys a sense of “home,” as Tender Mercies provides long-term housing and services to the mentally handicapped homeless. The items that radiate out mimic a mandala—a traditional circular art form that is itself a heartfelt personal journey, with patterns that correlate to parts of the psyche.
