Unity Mural on Shuttered Richmond Storefront

A vibrant community mural adorns the boarded windows of a closed business on Southeast Hawthorne Boulevard in Portland's Richmond neighborhood. The artwork features two portrait figures flanking a central mandala design with the message 'YOU ME WE' prominently displayed, transforming urban decay into a canvas for connection and hope. The red brick facade creates a striking backdrop against the overcast Pacific Northwest sky, while street signs and utility poles frame this intersection of abandonment and artistic resilience.
