This is a mural to light up our mundane life and appreciate water resources. The shape of the pipe and well as the combination is not block-shaped like the house in the neighborhood. To take advantage of the site and shape, I had this idea of The Magic of Water. The  mural resonates with the dynamic and gentle character of water and the shape of the pipe. The main colors are blue, azure,  orange, and pink. It represents water and desert, cool and hot. Since it is a street installation, no light color was used.
