Ditto Oslo Co‑Living Mural — H Street Corridor, Washington, DC

There’s a particular kind of rhythm on H Street — a mix of movement, memory, and the constant negotiation of what a neighborhood becomes. When Ditto invited me to create a full‑scale mural for their co‑living space, I knew the work had to hold that rhythm. Not imitate it. Not decorate it. Hold it.
This 75‑foot mural stretches across the façade like a pulse — color, motion, and architectural flow working together to shift how the building meets the street. Co‑living is about shared space, shared energy, shared possibility. I wanted the wall to feel like an extension of that: a visual invitation into community rather than a barrier between inside and out.
The forms move like ribbons, like pathways, like the way people weave in and out of each other’s lives in a city. The palette is bold but grounded, pulling from the corridor’s existing textures — brick, signage, transit, the constant hum of foot traffic. It’s a mural that doesn’t try to overpower the block; it tries to be in conversation with it.
Working at this scale is always a negotiation with the architecture. Every window, every edge, every shift in the surface becomes part of the composition. The mural wraps the building in a way that feels alive — not static, not ornamental, but responsive. It’s meant to be seen in motion: walking by, biking past, catching it from the corner of your eye.
For Ditto’s co‑living community, the mural becomes a kind of landmark — a visual anchor that signals home, connection, and creative presence in a neighborhood that’s constantly evolving. It’s public art as orientation. Public art as welcome. Public art as a reminder that design and community can meet in ways that feel human.
This project is part of my ongoing commitment to creating work that activates space, honors the people who move through it, and adds something meaningful to the visual language of a neighborhood. H Street deserved something with energy, with intention, with breath — and this mural is my offering to that corridor
