Caption

Artist Naomi Likayi poses with her commissioned mural at the Portland World Trade Center, part of the Portland Street Art Alliance's transformation of the boarded building.

Description

Artist Naomi Likayi sits in profile against her vibrant mural work at the boarded Portland World Trade Center, commissioned by the Portland Street Art Alliance. Her contemplative pose and striking locs create an intimate portrait against the dynamic backdrop of purple, blue, and mint green figures that seem to reach and interact across the wall. The interplay between the artist's earthtone plaid jacket and the bold street art creates a compelling juxtaposition of personal style and public expression.
