The Eastside of Tacoma has a vibrant and colorful history that continues to be written, and the pride of the community members always shines through. Convex mirrors reflect the activity levels within the community center, and the changing weather is reflected from outside, creating a passively kinetic experience.
During outreach meetings words like ‘’diverse, multi-ethnic, vibrant community,” were used to describe the area and its residents. This feedback helped inspire Diane’s concept to create a piece that mirrors the beauty of the community back to themselves. “Reflections” the Imagine Eastside Donor Recognition Project was commissioned by Greater Metro Parks Foundation for the Eastside Community Center, located in an underrepresented neighborhood of Tacoma, WA. The scope of the project also included mentoring two Eastside emerging artists, Adika Bell and Gerardo Peña, about the public art process.
