Quote from Artist
“The mural represents the feeling someone has when they can finally breathe again.” Said Jabari Cook, artist and communications lead of Ginger Root. “The world we live in can feel almost claustrophobic with how many distractions and stresses we face. The race for our ‘Ginger’, the passions and rewards we’re in constant chase of, the things we strive for that allow us to breathe and feel that slight state of Euphoria that make life worth living.”

Quote from Contigo Wellness
“This mural is more than paint on a wall—it’s a public commitment to healing, visibility, and care,” said Diana Anzaldúa, founder of Contigo Wellness. “It reflects our belief that mental wellness should be accessible to everyone, and that art can be both a mirror and a medicine.”

The Healing Wall includes a QR code that connects passersby to free, trauma-informed mental wellness tools such as breathing meditations, journal prompts, affirmations, and culturally rooted practices—available in English and Spanish.
