Transition

Transition by Brooklyn-based artist Adam Fujita is painted in the artist’s trademark style, which involves the use of neon colors and spray paint. His work consists of a purple base, with images of butterflies and other animals native to Pennsylvania like raccoons and deer. The bright colors on the dark purple background transform a formerly dark and damp environment into something colorful and cosmopolitan.

The work is one of two murals commissioned by the Olde Richmond Civic Association (ORCA). The goal of the project is to revitalize the tunnels that connect the Olde and Port Richmond neighborhoods in North Philadelphia, making them more welcoming for pedestrians and creating a sense of place for the community.
