L.E.A.D. Harms

L.E.A.D. Harms by artist Cliff Eubanks is located in the North Central Philadelphia neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This mural combines a series of images that capture both the threats and prevention methods of childhood lead pisoning. One end depicts images of the problem and on the other end is what can be done about the problem. A large paintbrush and box of crayons are painted on the side of the building and extend the length of the wall, signifying the common sources of lead poisoning. A ventilation-masked painter is shown on the center of the wall, separating the images of a child’s hands cupping a bar of soap on the far left. A young boy cautions a little girl from putting a crayon in her mouth on the far right.
