Ferry Building
Ferry Latinx lgbt pride public
In collaboration with Simon Malvaez and Voss Gallery, we designed these banners for San Francisco’s Ferry Building in celebration of Pride Month 2023. The faces depicted reflect the city’s rich cultural diversity—varying in age, gender, and ethnicity—to mirror the vibrant mosaic of our communities. A continuous black line weaves through each color of the original rainbow flag, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all living beings. Together, these individuals represent a collective narrative of identity, unity, and the shared pride and love for San Francisco.
