​The artist worked with elementary students at Wilson Elementary, an arts-magnet school which was displaced by expansion at Sky Harbor Airport, to create a ceramic mural that was designed, fabricated and installed by the artist and the students.  The theme for the mural is a woman dreaming about travel.  Tiles are inscribed with original poems written by the students in Spanish and English.
