On the Outside Looking In

Dunkin Donuts commissioned Groundswell to create a new mural that both depicts the changing nature of Williamsburg and taps into the neighborhoods vibrant community and artistic identity. The mural illustrates a fanciful scene of animals seated around tree stumps while sipping coffee and staring out at the concrete jungle through the windows. The work plays with notions of indoor versus outdoor, causing onlookers to pause and reflect while also bringing a bit of nature to an urban environment. On the Outside Looking In also draws attention to the various changes and transitions occurring in the outside environment and surrounding neighborhoods.
