About the Installation

You Are Beautiful is a large-scale mural installed on the corner of a building in Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood.

Positioned near the intersection of Elston and Armitage, the piece becomes part of the daily rhythm of the street, encountered by pedestrians, cyclists, and passing traffic throughout the day.

The curved architecture of the building allowed the mural to expand outward, creating the feeling of a stack of stickers unfolding around the corner.

Visible from multiple approaches, the work transforms the building into a highly recognizable landmark within the neighborhood.
