Play Her Voice Mural 2018, Artist: Shamsia Hassani, An Afghan Artist, The 20x21 Mural Project, 2451 Willamette Street, Eugene, Oregon
|
The Play Her Voice Mural was painted on the side of a commercial building that faced a customer parking lot.
Although a fairly simple mural compared to others, it packs a dramatic visual wallop.
|
The centerpiece of the mural featured a woman without a mouth who played a large keytar. The idea is that women's voices
are more effectively heard when spoken through art.
|
The artist's signature on the lower left featured her name in a stylized manner, the date 2018, and listed her website
as www.shamsiahassani.com
|
The buildings of an Afghan city were rendered in sand colored monotone.
|
The woman's gown and the body of the keytar stained the city in bright vibrant tones.
|
The drawn buildings were stained gold and brown by the keytar, then returned to their regular sand colored monotone.
|
The keys of the keytar sparkled in daylight as the music played.
|
The musician's face featured the absence of a mouth. She wore a ram-style hat and high fashion glasses.
|
The frets on the neck of the keytar and strings hanging wildly off the tuning pegs.
|
A parting shot of the mural shown in context with the foreground parking lot. Willamette Street ran past off to the left.
