Streets Dept Presents: “GLOW” by Amberella at Mission Taqueria for #ArtAtMission

2 minutes

For years, Amberella has wheatpasted her Goth/Power Heart street art series around Philadelphia. This winter, she’s showing her work in a new light…

Streets Dept and Mission Taqueria are excited to present our winter Art at Mission exhibition, GLOW by Amberella!

“Something that I’ve always loved about the Goth/Power Hearts is that they truly have so many meanings depending on where they are placed and what mind is interpreting them. Personally my work feels very intense and emotional because it’s coming from my deepest feelings, heart, and soul. The words shared represent all different types of struggles, love, relationships, the rebuilding of myself, and personal growth. With this installation, GLOW, I have had the opportunity to take a lighthearted spin on my work. Originally intended to speak to sassy dating or relationship banter, these words instead take a fun and playful twist when presented in a food establishment. Are you talking about me or my taco? Or is my taco talking to me? The space at Mission is filled with an undeniable glow, and I’m excited to share my work as pure eye candy – it looks delicious!” -Amberella
