Five Women

Forward Hand
A closer view of the forward hand. It was purple with aqua finger nails. A geometric design was on its back. A car was parked near the hand.

The Word Sanctuary
Ahead of the raft was the word Sanctuary. It floated above a white car. A fish was curious why a big word like that might float on the water.

The Entire Mural
A wider view of the entire mural. The word Earth behind the raft and the word Sanctuary ahead. An abstract rainbow flag did not indicate that the women were gay, instead it represented all the flags of the world mashed into one.
