Soar

Michelle Perez presents Soar, a colorful reflection on the flora and fauna of our natural world, allowing us to stop and enjoy depictions of birds sweeping through a colorful sky. It reminds us to consider how nature and health are intertwined, highlighting access and equity. Perez has two boxes in the park, Soar and Swim.

"These two boxes were inspired by the Climate Justice Plan's desire to bring access to clean water and air to frontline communities. The designs depict two environments and their inhabitants, and the way maintaining these resources fosters healthy communities."

With this work, we connect local artists and the 195 District Park with the Providence Climate Justice Plan, centering The Avenue Concept’s vision to provide clear avenues for artists to create joy, dialogue, and inclusion in public art.
