Artist Statement

The mural illustrates the protection against harm that aims to enter into your space. With two eyes facing the viewer; one of the woman and one of the canine, they form a united barrier of protection against any potential danger that is lurking.

Curtia Wright

Curtia Wright creates surreal worlds where sci-fi, dreams, and black femme power converge. Her electric murals reimagine memory, metaphysics, and mental health through vibrant, shape-shifting figures that feel like portals to new dimensions.
