Moonsign or Carrillo and Saint Theresa - Monsignor Carrillo was a riest at a local church who grew up in the neighborhood. His father was a vegetable vendor. He is giving flowers as a sign of the nurturing he provided for the neighborhood. Saint Theresa stands as a symbol of the strong faith of the neighborhood.

Coming from behind Monsignor Carrillo are the railroad tracks that run through the neighborhood and have a direct impact on the daily lives of its residents.

The Mariachi pictured in the mural is Melissa Sanchez. She was a participant in the photo workshops held in the early phases of the project and she produced this image.

The Cactus Wren pictured here feasts on Saguaro fruit. These images are a direct representation of native elements of the Sonoran desert and are also the state bird and state flower of the sate of Arizona.

Piman Basket - this basket is a representation of the native cultures that lived in this region before the settlement of Tucson.

Vivian Colter is a third generation resident of Anita. She participated in the photo workshops and in this image she cradles a globe, her world, Barrio Anita.

The Blanket that drapes Vivian spills over to create the tablecloth where 100 year old Josefa Carrillo (photo by David Sanders) makes tortilla balls. This illustrates our need fr substance and also creates a symbiotic juxtaposition the past and future of Barrio Anita.

Mercedes Cortez stands holding a Cottonwood tree in her hand. At the base of the tree is a heart. From the tree a flock of birds ascend into the text that follows on the right.

Corrido - the text that flows is a corridor that was commissioned by the project. It speaks of the neighborhood, how they have suffered, that they were poor, but that they triumphed and are better.

The mesquite tree is a common tree seen throughout the neighborhood.
