Native Miamian Jen Stark’s vivid, kaleidoscope mural 'Cosmic Connection’ mimics the implausible designs found in nature. Using citizenM Miami Brickell as a totem pole, Stark created five different works for each façade, ultimately forming one cohesive piece. Open to the public, this optical illusion is free for everyone to enjoy.

Brooklyn-based artist Theresa Chromati created four joyful, swirling panels of black womanhood. Wearing masks as armor for self-preservation, these figures challenge ideas of ownership, identity, and appropriation and reflect Chromati’s own inner world. “I started to realize that these faces are fragments of myself.”

Lakwena Maciver’s murals are escape routes – as she calls them, “afrofuturistic portals to utopia”. Using bold text and bright, kaleidoscope colours, she gently subverts conventional ideas of decolonisation, redemption, escapism and paradise. This piece, commissioned for Miami Brickell, uses pattern to redefine and reassign glory.

Columbus-native Robin F. Williams is famous for her powerful portrayals of women, typically painted in oil on raw canvas. This delightful piece marks the introduction of more fantastical subject matter – ghosts and shadows. ‘Space Ghost’’s trippy style creates the illusion of depth while the grinning figures leave the viewer to wonder… what do they find so funny?
