This mural was painted in a friend’s backyard as a memorial for someone we lost. Using a mix of abstract textures with the realism of a single eye, the piece holds space for both memory and emotion. The eye becomes a focal point—both a symbol of presence and a reminder of absence—surrounded by abstract forms that echo the complexity of grief, reflection, and love. Painted with brush and spray paint, it’s meant to honor a life while also capturing the way memories blur, shift, and stay with us.

Oakland, United Statespeople’s empty place is our countless thoughts inside our heads. our calm space outlined in detail. who we are. where we’ve been. and where we’re going.
pep digs into the mind to explore relationships with a society that often feels like it loves us and rejects us. the imbalance of two.
pep is the chaos swirling in our heads in black & white. searching for our true selves in a background of noise; parodies of a life we wish we had. they’re work is explorations of the mental fortitude. the difference between imagination and intimidation.
this is pep’s contribution to help others expand the mind, explore introspection, and heal themselves through lives obstacles. while providing an essence of who we are through our own uniqueness.
