After the Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) department won Arts Everywhere’s “I Was Here: Postcards from the Pandemic” project, they received a $2,500 budget for artwork in their office and clinic space. Isabel Lu, the artist behind the mural, shared the inspiration behind the piece: "The idea for this mural came from the EHS clinic staff. They wanted a serene landscape that would be calming for both the staff and the patients. They requested specific elements, including mountains, a waterfall, and a moon. The mountains symbolize stability and a safe environment, while the waterfall and clouds guide you through the mural and along the hallway. The sun and moon represent the tirelessness of the clinic staff throughout COVID and their dedication to maintaining the health and well-being of the campus community. I incorporated my style, inspired by Chinese landscape painting and graphic design, and we worked collaboratively to create the final design."
