RestlessRide & Light Murals Under the El at K&A 

KENSINGTON

RestlessRide honors the experience of transient individuals finding refuge on endlessly moving trains, with geometric forms and interior details referencing architectural elements native to the region. The RestlessRide proposes: "Allowed for continual looping - Take advantage of the natural and already occurring patterns - Medical care stops and on board services - Electric incinerating toilets - Culture and incentive of hygiene with specialized & overlapping oversight - decentralization of encampments - transportation for the transient - feeling of integration into mainstream society."

Light Murals Under the El at K&A addresses the open-air drug market in Kensington by proposing a programmable LED light mural that confronts a crisis too often left in the shadows and intensified at night. Installed beneath the elevated train tracks at Kensington and Allegheny, the work reimagines the space through light, color, and public visibility. The mural treats illumination not only as a practical intervention, but also as a social and symbolic one. The piece continues the tradition of murals functioning as signs of hope, remembrance, and collective identity. Here, the programmable LEDs extend that tradition into a contemporary and changable form, transforming an area associated with neglect into a site of renewal, visibility, and care.
