Found in East Oakland, I think this mural's abstract quality has roots in Aztec iconography. I've seen circles and scrolls like these on codex drawings in Mexico. The chrysanthemums remind me of flowers on the Days of the Dead ofrendas. Painted by Corazon and Chamuco. I find the shades of gray with a touch of color very pleasing but it may not be to everyone's taste.
