Nika is a hispanic young woman and an artist of sorts. She is actually a tagger, she finds the perfect building to do her kind of art on and she makes magic happen. Though this is not the typical idea of art it is what makes her life make sense. A product of the foster care system she finds herself standing in front of the building where she spent her summers in an after school program learning how to paint. The colors are her connection to a life that was not very good to her and not very forgiving. It is an emotional reunion; with the doors locked and chained and the building closed all she has are her memories of what it was like to grow up with one love, her paint and paintbrush. She shares with us her creations, tells us what she sees, what we should see and how the Mural is the perfect mix of color, life and breath. It is much mort than just graffiti, it is telling a story, her story.
