The "UPWARD ONWARD" Project, is supported by a grant from the Bloomberg Philanthropies Asphalt Art Initiative which helps cities use art and community engagement to improve street safety and revitalize public space, with funding awarded to Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Virginia and Norfolk Arts. The abstract towers are meant to symbolize strength and growth. The leaning nature of the towers is to symbolize connectivity and community; working together to reach new heights. The goal of the project is to bring something vibrant, positive, and inspiring to a an otherwise overlooked community;

This mural is located on the corner of E Little Creek rd and San Antonio blvd in the Denby Park area of Norfolk, VA. The project spanned a total of 2 paint days and was completed with the help of local volunteers and the Norfolk Police Department.
