Depression Awareness Street Art

I created this community artwork about depression awareness with my collaborator and friend, Henry Jarman. We cleaned up and gardened an abandoned building near our university in Seattle, Wa, and installed a painting of a smiling face over the building's doors. We hoped the ivy surrounding the face would create the illusion of hair. In front of the building we installed a love letter to the community with depression resources. We then hung 40 hand-written compliments on paper leaves and invited passers-by to take them.
