This piece painted on a highway underpass is part of a project entitled "Words by Roads". The project, consisting of four pieces, was the result of a collaboration with a group of students from three Oakland Public High Schools, Bay Area, California.

Each piece addresses a specific issue of community concern that was conceived, designed and painted by the students. Seyed Alavi
