Year of the Tiger Mural
Created in collaboration with Simi Mahtani for the 2022 Chinese Lunar New Year, this large-scale mural celebrated the culture, energy, and community of Flushing, Queens.
Reading from right to left, inspired by the structure of Chinese text, the artwork follows a tiger riding the subway into Flushing—the largest Chinatown in New York City—to experience the neighborhood’s rich history, food, and cultural traditions. Hand-painted over the course of a week, the five-panel mural spanned approximately 60 feet throughout the Shops at Skyview, a major community and transportation hub in the neighborhood.

The mural was part of a larger Lunar New Year celebration featuring live art activations, bringing artists and community members together to experience the creative process firsthand. Through both the finished installation and live programming, the project aimed to create a shared moment of celebration, connection, and cultural appreciation within the Flushing community.
