Description: Among names, colors, and geometric designs, the only image that stands out is that of the UFW eagle. "Remains incomplete until 1984, Ramses Noriega, Salvador Torres, Ivan Navarro, and other children finish the wall. Note: names on murals stimulate graffiti that eventually destroys the purpose of mural painting. Names make a better statement in a designated location of a mural for names, logos, sponsors and dates and artists' statements. Shows the enthusiasm and impetuousness of individual creative exploration in mural painting. No wall preparations, (washing, cleaning, rinse, base coat for mural paint.) Proline painted directly on raw concrete. This process has resulted in the paint peeling, flaking, and colors dulling due to a lack of base color. This creative impetus of individual initiative contrasts the collective mural preparations, logistics that included the San Diego Parks & Recreation, and Caltrans property jurisdictions, day and night lighting, relevant themes that can be related in color, movement, and unity with all other potential mural/sculpture/landscape sites within the 7.4 acre park and the Cesar E. Chavez 5.4-acre waterfront park." Salvador Torres
