The painting is currently in process with plans to be completed by April 15. Lopez and the students presented several mural concepts to embody the Zona Village motto “live DIFFERENT,” and the Ceiba Groupe team ultimately selected a concept created by Ansary, who uses abstract expressionism to battle anxiety and depression with colors expressing freedom and hope while exploring the complexities of human emotions. Under the leadership of Associate Professor Kandy Lopez-Moreno, Art + Design major Annabel Brewster and alumni Kahkashan Ansary and Andres Mora are painting a mural at Ceiba Groupe’s Zona Village, a genre-defining, mixed-use, multi-family development, typifying a best-in-class residential living experience for residents of Davie, Florida. “We are grateful that Ceiba Groupe is helping us provide these unique student experiences.” “At NSU, we provide students with the edge to explore their careers and give them a foundation in which they are able to use these skills to pursue their goals,” said Shanti Bruce, Ph.D., chair of NSU’s Department of Communication, Media, and the Arts. The collaboration features original artwork by an Art + Design student and alumni that is being documented by Communication majors using multimodal storytelling techniques.
