“Defying Gravity” – Unstretched Canvas

Unique Stretched Canvas titled "Defying Gravity" created by artist Victor Ash for Street Art for Mankind's (SAM) #NRNYmurals. The murals curated and produced in New Rochelle, NY, by Street Art for Mankind pay tribute to the creativity, diversity and resiliency of the New Rochelle community.

The purpose of this interactive painting is to reflect on the future of New Rochelle, the place of technology within humanity, and the importance of diversity and equality. It features Mae Carol Jemison, an American engineer, physician, and former NASA astronaut. She became the first African-American woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992.
