This art installation was created by high school students in Urban art laboratory. The artists formed works drawn from personal experience in singular bubble like structures all drawn together with connective strings. The bubbles scattered on the wall and the colorful geometric forms are directly integrated into an otherwise abandoned concrete space. The installation is next to McKinley Square Park on Potrero Hill at the abandoned turn around on Vermont off of 20th Street and it will be up until August 1st.
