On a facade looking over the YWCA playground, Gross renders plants and birds native to the Hudson Valley in a composition that speaks to diversity, the interdependence one has with their neighbor, being rooted in community, inclusiveness and a connection to the natural world. She states: “The landscape depicted is a transition to utopia; rewilding is about creating habitats/sanctuary and maximizing diversity. The birds serve additionally as symbols of joyful freedom and upward movement.”
