Transmutation mural behind Bread & Salt.

In 2023, a long mural was created in the alley behind Bread & Salt in Logan Heights. Transmutation – Exploring art & Healing is the title in English. It’s by San Diego artist May-ling Martinez.

The artwork combines various elements, including geometry, anatomy, natural forms and design. It seems that creativity is in our human DNA.

I saw this mural for the first time a few days ago when I explored the old Weber’s bread bakery, the historic building in which the Bread & Salt cultural center is located.

In late 2020 I walked around the same building and through the same alley, taking photos of different murals, many of which remain today. See those here.

Looking at the artist’s website, I see she created fun art that I photographed almost ten years ago in East Village. It’s the closet-like mural titled Inside Outside that you can see here!

Here are more photos of Transmutation, taken along the alley as I walked from left to right…
