A colorful and carefully measured piece of artwork, Alex Rusnak’s Dum Spiro Spero is a visual treat sure to engage adults and children, alike.

“The theme for this mural revolves around the South Carolina state motto, “Dum Spiro Spero,” or when translated, “While I breathe, I hope.” The figures, whose hope is asserted by their placement in the literal vessel of breath, face towards both each other and the dueling crescent moons on either side of the painting.”
