SANTA FE, NM 2020
During the process of this work I thought about how this is the most psychedelic time we as a global community have ever experienced as one. The COVID 19 pandemic has put the unknown into our lives in a very severe way. The title reflects this moment as a potential catalyst for awareness and changing our ways a moment to pause as said by my wife Kristina Numina.

Tin can alley
A series of large scale murals commissioned by The Santa Fe Brewing Company for their Tin Can Alley location. This place is a large community culinary spot to open post COVID-19 pandemic. I was able to finish this work before the pandemic hit hard. TCA was scheduled to open April 1. This will be an amazing place to commune with community to celebrate moving back into some form of possible normalcy.

Numina was invited to paint the mural in 2017 by the College Hill Art Alliance, Art in the Park, and Mercer’s women’s and gender studies and art departments with funding from The Knight Foundation. None of these groups, Numina said, were told that the painting would be removed.

The first time Joerael Numina ever saw graffiti, he was 9 years old and watching television footage of the Berlin Wall coming down. Men and women climbed over the 12-foot cement barrier under a night sky and broke it apart with pickaxes, sledgehammers, and even their bare hands. It was obvious, even to a kid in west Texas, that something momentous was happening.

“Yoga is a spiritual practice meaning union,” says Numina. “The border wall is divisive and centralized and toxic to the environment and the national budget. Mobilize Walls is transformational and inclusive. It creates dialogue and cultivates empathy and compassion. That’s what art does: It connects people—especially in a public space.”
