Disney4me Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago Another panel of the Disney Springs Art Walk mural is complete, and it’s work done by Brett Tachi, an artist born and raised in Orlando. “I wanted to showcase a bit of our family history,” Tachi said in a video released by Walt Disney World. Her artwork — titled “Memento” — features a persimmon tree growing out of rocks, which represents her family’s resilience, Tachi said. The painting is a tribute to her Japanese-American heritage and her great-grandparents, who opened a plant nursery in California after immigrating to the United States in the early 1900s. “The whole idea of this mural is to find ways to connect with your ancestors and your culture. So, I hope they think of their own ancestors and their elders and ways that they can relate back to their history no matter where they’re from,” Tachi said. The mural is one of several seen at the Disney Springs Art Walk, an outdoor set of large paintings on continuous display. The works, featuring 20 artists, are found in the Town Center neighborhood of the entertainment and retail complex, nestled between the Lime parking garage and the bus loading area. “It’s such a diverse and amazing collection they have here,” Tachi said. dbevil@orlandosentinel.com View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
