This mural was created during two hurricanes in Florida's 2022 season! I guess God wanted me to have some inspiration. The mural is painted using an unusual process which protects it from Florida's salt air, strong sunlight and occasional hurricane. The painting is done on an inorganic fiber material so that the paint soaks into the cloth. The cloth is then glued to the building with a special bonding agent that is kind of like plastic and rubber cement combined. The glue and cloth actually make the building stronger. The process locks the paint within layers so that it is not subject to flaking, chipping or fading. A final UV protective coat is added on top. For more information on this process, please watch the creation video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQEGQWrsxOU
