Evoking the essence of belonging, the artwork celebrates San Diego's heritage through coastal flora, fauna, and a vivid bouquet of native flowers. • The installation transports viewers to lush marshes, where the tradition of crafting the Kumeyaay Tule Boat is honored and vintage naval knots acknowledge the city's maritime roots. • The mural's narrative unfolds from California gulls on Sunset Cliffs to a profound underwater scene, depicting a gray whale's ancestral journey. An oversized Osprey in the garden encapsulates the wonder of feeling at home in the presence of shared creatures. Symbolizing diverse inhabitants, "Hapai," Kumeyaay for "the people's water," reflects Point Loma's legacy. • The community is invited to watch Baily in action from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, September 30 and Saturday, October 14, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, October 13. The community painting days are open to all ages and guests are encouraged to dress in clothing they don’t mind getting paint on.
