below: For the 2021 SHINE Festival, Nicole Salgar’s “The Commuter”

mural by nicole salgar, woman's portrait, flowers, in reds and purples
From Salgar’s Instagram page: “In this piece, the muse is intended to be portrayed as a gatekeeper to other dimensions and realities. She is connecting with the viewer through her gaze, and behind her you can peer into her intimate space, which appears to be in the process of transformation. Her existence is one which flows throughout time without any boundaries. Time is represented in this piece through the changing shapes and fields of color. The structure to the far right, which is interacting with her physical form, is a portal that symbolizes the doorway into another dimension, or a parallel universe. This is a representation of the pathways we follow through transitions and transformations throughout our lives. Theories say that versions of our universe overlap, and even interact with one another on the quantum level, affecting our own universe. This piece is a loop which speaks to the idea of no beginnings or endings, just absolute continuity. The very concept of time is ultimately an illusion, created by humans to reconcile with our memories. Ultimately, this mural is a culmination of the feminine spirit of all things being tied together through reality, nature, dreams, space and time. A boundless energy which makes up the entire universe. “
