Description
A male figure with outspread arms holds up freeway on column #T-47, Chicano Park. "This restoration project was started by Salvador Torres Chicano Park Arts Council Inc. and the intent was to restore not renovate. Salvador Torres make anatomical studies to strengthen the image of a colossus holding up the bridge. Salvador Torres attempts to make planning meetings with Mario Torero unsuccessfully. Time runs out on the project that has city of San Diego funding. Salvador Torres is chastised for becoming director of the restoration project Salvador Torres organizes in 1990-92 by the Commission for Arts & Culture, a City of San Diego advisory agency. Mario Torero paints a different image, once again includes his own face into the Colossus with his hair parted." Salvador Torres
