Early yesterday morning, I strolled for a few minutes along San Diego’s beautiful Embarcadero. I wanted to get some photographs to update last year’s blog post about the Star of India’s tattered sails.
While heading back east on Beech Street, I noticed some gigantic public art is being applied to the west side of the relatively new Ariel Luxury Apartments building. This high-rise stands between Santa Fe Depot and the Little Italy trolley station.
I’ve found no info on the internet about this new artwork. Here are some pics!
Half a century ago, San Diego was home to the world’s largest tuna fishing fleet! This image of fishermen working together is very similar to a sculpture on Shelter Island, which I have yet to blog about!
I’m not sure what the white stuff is running down the building’s side. I suppose that will be removed when all is done!

Yes, it is a beautiful project that we are quite proud of!!!
I’m the construction manager for the art project and the build-out of interior commercial spaces, the white stuff running down the wall is concrete slurry caused by saw cuts required for the kitchen mechanical of our commercial spaces. We will begin repainting the wall this week. Let me know if you have any questions about the art project and I will be happy to answer.
