Artist Description of Artwork:
"Fun House" is an invitation to remain curious and playful even when the world seems chaotic and challenging. This mural is a portal to childhood wonder in the midst of urban life. An escape from adult pressures, encouraging people to pause, wonder, and rediscover the simple joy of seeing the world through unconstrained eyes.
