SOMA
7th and Brannan
Another great mural by the gang at 1AM
I spoke with Dan at 1:AM and this is what he had to say about this mural:
For “Knowledge is Golden” the inspiration was specific to the area which the mural was done. San Francisco is seeing its second gold rush with information and knowledge being the currency of today. SOMA, being slated to be developed as the new downtown of San Francisco with technology leading the transformation, is why we chose this location for our message.
Gold miners have been replaced by tech innovators. Pickaxes and shovels have been replaced with laptops and desktops. Though the times have changed, the human thirst for chasing opportunity remains prevalent in these times. And with this influx of new people, San Francisco culture as we know it will never be the same.
The mural is done by Roman Cesario, Jurne, Robert Gonzalez, and Daniel Pan
