Labor and Love Intertwined

Labor and Love Intertwined by artist Michelle Angela Ortiz is located in the Bella Vista neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A statement on the credits located on site describes the mural:

“This mural is dedicated to the (im)migrant workers who crossed oceans and borders to make the Market their home. To those who lift up their people, work without rest, and give everything for their families – we honor you.

“Special thanks to Brendan McCreath, The Redel Family, Familia Bautista, Israel Ramos, Josephine Scavola, Alma Romero, Eugene Giordano, Alice Harrison, & Epifania Ortiz.”

“Para mis padres, que siempre creyeron en mí, los amo.” Michelle
