It communicates Truth viscerally in ways that mere words cannot. See for example,
Transformations, the mural we commissioned from artist Greg King for
Generation Xcel's 88-Step theater.
Greg King, 2002.
Oil on Canvas.
Triptych measuring appx. 8x12
Transformations depicts Generation Xcel's vision for community and individual renewal. The perimeter of the cityscape is characterized by the worst that cities offer: drug deals, burning buildings, traffic, rioting, smut shops, and more. But at the heart of the city, a transformation is beginning. The buildings are straighter; it's brighter; even the architecture is different. And the transformation is working its way outward.
At the same time, a bridge connects individuals to the community-wide transformation. When they begin the journey, they come with baggage: personal addictions; emotional wounds, failing families. Compelling them across the bridge are young people and the YW8? (Why Wait?) symbol, shining like a beacon from the City's heart, reminding them that they don't need to wait until tomorrow to experience transformation today. As they come, their walk get straighter; their futures look brighter; even their expectations are different. And the transformation that begins in their heart works its way outward.
