Onna Richbrug Capstone

For my Capstone Project, I collaborated with my partner, Ada, to transform the 4th-floor study room at SLA through a large-scale mural and an educational website. What began as a simple desire to leave a visual mark on our school evolved into a deep dive into Philadelphia’s environmental issues. Our project features a mural of the Philadelphia skyline integrated with the complete ecosystem of our local watershed, highlighting the fish and aquatic life that depend on clean city water. To ensure our project met the expectations for a duo-capstone, I also developed a website that provides data, history, and calls to action regarding watershed issues in our region. I chose this project because art has always been a primary way of communicating ideas, but I wanted my final act as sla to be more than just aesthetically pleasing. I wanted to create something permanent that improved the daily environment for my peers.
