Nuestra Vida (Our Life), Boyle Heights, 1994
title Nuestra Vida (Our Life), Boyle Heights, 1994description "Nuestra vida (Our life)", Boyle Heights, 1994. 4th Street and Euclid Avenue, Boyle Heights. "The mural is a reflection of the East Los Angeles lifestyle of that area. It was gang infested. A well-known gang member who was feared by everyone was excited about a mural in his neighborhood. The artist did a representation of him in the mural -- he is the one doing his homework. The two figures in the middle are offering flowers to you, saying, 'This is what our culture offers to the community -- the education and history of it'."
