This handmade glass window mural offers an aerial perspective of Boise's watershed, inspired by satellite infrared imagery that maps the flow and use of water across the region. The work uses color to represent the diverse landscapes within the watershed—ranging from urban neighborhoods and sprawling farmlands to the meandering path of the Boise River. By depicting these areas in vibrant hues, the mural highlights the ways in which water is both a life-sustaining force and an essential element that intersects with and shapes the environment. Through this layered visual representation, the piece emphasizes the delicate balance between water and the land it nourishes, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all living things and the vital role that water plays in maintaining the health and sustainability of our ecosystems.
