1201 Detroit Street (Lexington Gardens)

Nest and Nuture by Rafael Lopez

Printed digital artwork embedded in powder-coated aluminum panels

The artwork design by artist Rafael Lopez will be printed to scale and embedded in 1/8” aluminum panels treated with a powder-coated finish. According to the artist, “This project is all about giving homes to people who don’t have one. I’m trying to create images and colors that inspire people who will live here. Using things like birds and nests in my artwork is my way of saying that we all search for a home where we can feel safe and keep our belongings, just like birds making nests. It’s about finding that place where we can let our dreams take flight and find a little peace in a busy world.”
