 'Boundless'
  Media: latex and spray paint on textured concrete
  Year: 2021
  Conservation Status: In good repair
  Notes: "What I try to convey in my art is happiness, free-spiritedness, and the various colors in nature that I see every day. So many environments where people spend most of their time are void of color and I understand the psychology of bright, bold, and fun colors. ' Boundless ' is a representation of the limitless potential we all have. My biggest inspirations are my West African heritage and my love for all things nature. My ultimate goal is to spread love and encouragement with messages of hope and unity."?? - Kevin Bongang
