Little Havana
I-95 Underpass at SW 8th Street
30 Columns

Mangrove Seedlings details:

Using 8 foot by 4 foot stencils designed by the artist, Hands on Miami Volunteers will draw three mangrove seedlings on each of the underpass' columns.  Each column's seedlings will be painted with one of 18 predetermined colors, the areas surrounding it to look appear as sea and sky.  To see studies of seedlings click on: magenta, red, orange, yellow, green, and violet.

Students will then return to the site with black paint and reproduce images uniquely designed by Xavier Cortada for each and every seedling.
