Alta Loma Park Restroom Structure
Mural Proposal
Attachment A - Agenda Item VIII.1
Parkside Wall Concepts:
Patterns on the right side of the wall are taken from Ohlone
basket weaving designs
Landscape is a simplified bay shore
Animals in the landscape will be simple white and black and
are animals sacred to the Ohlone people. We will be adding
more animals to this landscape.
The Orchids are a representation of McClellen Orchids history
in the area
Alta Loma text gives a large view of the park name as well as a
great place for people to take photos/promotte the park.
Attachment A - Agenda Item VIII.1
Restroom Wall Concepts:
One of our student was researching the trans
community in the Ohlone tribe and found several
LGBTQ poets and artists.
She wanted to use colors like blue, pink, and
white to represent the trans/non-binary commu-
nities.
We enlarged the ohlone pattern on the parkside
wall and made the colors variations of blue, pink,
and white with a purple background. We thought
this would be conceptually appropriate on the
face of the restrooms, which have and continue
to be a contraversial issue.
We also would like to continue the flowers
around to this side, which could represent any-
thing from new life to death, or from purity to
passion, fertility, etc.
Attachment A - Agenda Item VIII.1
Path Wall Concepts:
For this wall we let student alumni Ju Young Ku design
a concept using his own art. Jay is actually an alumni
of many of the schools in South City and went to Alta
Loma Elementary. So we thought this would actually
be a perfect representation of what an Alta Loma
Alumni can do and a true South City Story
Artist Statement:
My art is a self portrait. It's a collection of (conscious
and unconscious) preferences from subjects, themes,
messages that are worthy of being made into art to
ingredients that make up the art such as lines, shapes, colors, symbols,
techniques etc. and just as importantly, what is fun for me to draw. It is a
collection of images and symbols that represents my experiences as a
Korean American Immigrant. I’m sorting images that left an impression
on me as a child growing up in the countryside of Korea, selecting things
that represent my experience during the immigration process and orga-
nizing them together to represent what I have become in regards to my
ethnic identity. The process of observing, analyzing and filtering various
aesthetic and symbolic preferences is an attempt at trying to better un-
derstand my inner self.
Attachment A - Agenda Item VIII.1
Vending Wall Concepts:
The colors of the lines represent the history of the
city. The color lines and the Sign Hill in the top form a
pyramid that’s been built in layers, like the ones the
native Mexicans built:
•The black, white and brown lines represent the
OhloneRamaytush people who lived in the area.
• Red, Yellow and red represent the Spanish con-
quest.
• Green, white and red represent the Mexican flag
and the Alta California.
• Blue, white and red represents the US and its inter-
vention in Mexico. It also represents the idea of the
Manifest Destiny.
• Navy and gold represent the navy and the people who built ships and supplies for
WWII.
• Orange represents the California poppy flower.
•the green lines represent the hills that surround the city.
And
• The blue line represents the city being close to the water.
The cloud to the right represents all the ethnicities, backgrounds, cultures, traditions,
and religions of the diverse population of South San Francisco.
There’s also the sun representing the brightness of the people working on biotech-
nology and science for the better of humanity.
We also have a eucalyptus tree in the top right corner. Although, eucalyptus is not a
native tree of the area but it’s one that we can see all around and has become a
staple of the city.
