Birds of Soluna is an extension to a previous Groundswell mosaic installed on the outer faade of BRCs Casa de los Vecinos transitional housing residence for individuals living with mental illness. Completed through Groundswells Segue program, our professional artists supervised and instructed court-involved young people recruited from our TurnStyle alternative sentencing program. Residents of Casa de los Vecinos were also engaged in the tiling process. The mosaic is installed along the front of this transitional housing facility, creating an inviting and welcoming mood as one enters the building. The design features a textural transition from day to night with blue birds interspersed throughout the work, and it accentuates the architecture and moldings of the building on Pitt Street.
