Three connected public artworks linking Brooks' aerospace history with imagery of growth, butterflies, flowers and renewal.
The La Picosa murals connect Brooks' aerospace history with imagery of growth and renewal — moving from flight and research toward butterflies, flowers and transformation.
Created by San Antonio artists Mike Comp and BëkiT, the works reference Brooks' evolution from military post and Air Force Base to a contemporary mixed-use community. SAM nods to early aerospace research while butterflies carry the theme of growth through the site.
Each surface works independently while contributing to a larger narrative of science, movement and change.
A direct nod to the site's aerospace research history and the ambition of flight.
Growth and renewal carried vertically through the site.
Transformation becomes the visual bridge between past and present.
Painted details appear throughout the architecture instead of living on one isolated wall.
A brighter language of plants, wings and movement completes the story.
Public art and placemaking references connected directly to the site and mural story.
