In 2018, Depeña was commissioned to conceive and produce a large-scale mural in Charlotte, NC’s South End neighborhood. The mural is a part of the Rail Trail Initiative that is intended to reinvigorate the area with public art from various disciplines. The site consists of a raw concrete, 3 level parking garage facade and measures roughly 150' x 30' in height.

This work explores the spatial qualities of painting and drawing using topography, transparency, density of light/color, and layering to achieve work that utilizes chance and intention to create an encapsulated multiverse of compositions. Depeña is exploring inspiration from natural phenomena, revealing a more complex set of micro-compositions or “mini worlds”, when the user takes a closer look. Another source of inspiration was movement. This was done in several ways including long exposure photography layered into the composition and the usage of all 3 adjacent facades. The pedestrian or light rail traveler experiences the mural from a series of perspectives which unfolds and re-stitches the composition together.
