Nicole Salgar’s contribution to the Wabash Walls project is both haunting and hopeful — a surreal portrait steeped in emotion, symbolism, and strength. Set against a dreamlike forest of bare trees and anchored by a rising red sun, the mural features a woman staring forward with quiet intensity, clutching a pocket watch and wearing symbols that suggest legacy, time, and resilience.

This piece feels like a pause in motion — an invitation to reflect on transformation, identity, and the power of storytelling through imagery. With layered textures and soul-searching expression, Salgar breathes life into the wall, turning a simple building into a canvas of introspection and empowerment.
