Fusión Monarca is inspired by the El Monte community and the divine manifestations of nature, an immersion of life and color cultivated through the iconic Monarch Butterfly and my signature Butterfly Oasis installations; blending light, color, and texture into a kaleidoscopic and interactive mural mirroring integration and diversity for social and cultural engagement.
