The finished project consists of three elements:

First, a photo mural of images compiled by residents and taken from archives in the neighborhood, that takes on two forms in two locations. The photo textile mural exists as an opaque vinyl graphic applied to the 18th street side of the Church Ave. station headhouse, and as a translucent “stained glass” effect in the windows of the CAMBA organization, which occupies a large building directly across from the station, on Church Ave. The intention behind the mural mounted on the headhouse was the ability to add color and life during the daytime hours, and be able to be viewed up close, while the mural in the windows brings a welcoming burst of color to the street in the evening hours, as it is illuminated from within the building.

The third element of the project is an illuminated sugar cane parade, dancing along the fence of the Q Gardens community garden on 18th street, just past the station. There was a desire for more illumination on this block, and many kind words about greenery and the park adjacent to the neighborhood. QLC combined these impulses into a solar powered lighting installation that takes the shape of a beloved plant in the community. The lighting consists of LED neon flex, mounted on sugarcane motifs, which were decorated by neighbors and community garden volunteers.
