Birth of the Expression
- Title
- Birth of the Expression
- Description
- Burley’s mural explores cycles of life and centers women. The left side conveys night, with a constellation of a woman stretching across the sky. The right side shows daytime, with natural imagery of a horse, corn, and cotton. A rainbow stretches across the whole mural, signifying unity and togetherness. This is reminiscent of Biggers’ "Web of Life."
