Project Description

“K.See. The Good” is designed to celebrate the diverse people and vibrant spirit of Kansas City. At the heart of the design are oversized sunglasses, the lenses left transparent, inviting viewers to interact and celebrate the ‘other side’, encouraging a sense of connection and positivity. Inspired by our past mural projects, we’ve woven together familiar elements to create a cohesive narrative that connects different areas and communities to Kansas City. Each mural experience has allowed us to engage with individuals and become part of their unique community fabric. The central theme of “K.See. The Good” embodies the concept of “Convivencia” — a celebration of coexistence and shared experiences. From iconic landmarks to various patterns and colors, every detail is intentionally crafted to highlight the beauty, individuality, and unity of our city’s collective identity. As “K.See. The Good” comes to life, we invite all who encounter it to pause, interact, and discover the shared narratives that bind us together in this dynamic urban landscape.
