About the Work:
The Crime Victims Memorial is dedicated to those who have died through acts of violence. Walking along the spiral pathways, one is led to a place of Remembrance. The sculptural pavilion consists of two concrete walls connected by a steel roof structure that has the appearance of an abstract wing or a but...terfly. As a result, the memorial offers a sense of transformation and of taking flight, but it also conveys the somber quality of death’s final statement. Four 8’ diameter polished black granite discs, town on each wall, hold the engraved names of those who have died. Remembrance is a place for the living and a dedication to those who have left us too soon.

About the Work:
Overstreet’s "Regeneration" mural plays a significant role in the region and environment in which it is placed. Located in the City’s central medical district neighbored by the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center and Thomason Hospital, the mural takes a look at the elements involved in natural a...nd faith healing in traditional Mexican and Indigenous cultures. Beginning with detailed sketches of plants long held to have medicinal properties like the Prickly Pear Cactus, Overstreet coalesces details into an abstracted composition. "Regeneration" is a convergence of imagination, movement and whimsy into a dynamic asymmetrical work that is intended to evoke reflection by the viewer.
About the Artist:
A native to El Paso, contemporary graphic artist Mitsu Overstreet has worked with murals for over 20 years. He draws inspiration from community-driven themes and historical solutions, which he has learned and developed from his professional career and education at the California College of Arts and Crafts in San Francisco. In 2005, Overstreet was recognized for his work in an aerosol contest sponsored by RedBull USA and Viacom, where his design was displayed on a billboard in celebration of Cinco de Mayo.
