Description
Mural on column #G-46, Chicano Park depicting a human hand, left, and an agricultural tool, right, both grabbing onto either teeth of a gear or the rays of the sun. All this very top. Beneath, a mountain, and a produce truck drives toward the vanishing point on a field. Just under this is a strike scene that has resulted in the death of a striker (Rufino Contreras). Under this scene, a seemingly peaceful scene of cultivation. ‘Seemingly’ because the harvesters are chained to boxes containing produce. The artist of any work retains all rights to that work.
