ABOUT THIS PIECE

This mural captures the dynamic beauty of the Texas Bass in its natural habitat. At the bottom, a bass swims through the deep, dark waters, symbolizing the hidden depths of South Texas' aquatic life. The dark waters blend seamlessly with the bright blue surface, representing the interconnectedness of the ecosystem. Above, another bass leaps out of the water, creating a glistening splash that signifies the vibrant energy and life of the region.

The Texas Bass holds significant importance to the local South Texas community. It is not only a prized catch for anglers but also a symbol of the rich biodiversity and natural beauty of the area. The mural celebrates the bass as a vital part of the local culture and environment, highlighting the community's deep connection to its natural resources. - Oneida Trevino
