Project description:
My utility box submission was designed with the beauties of Moreno Valley in mind. Growing up in district two there was always nature nearby that I was able to delight and find peace of mind in as well as spend quality time with family. My design showcases each of the natural beauties Moreno Valley residents are lucky to have. the left and middle show depicts the beautiful flora that grows so vividly and abundantly on the box springs hills as well as in the gardens of residents. The right side features the iconic Moreno Valley "M" that many have hiked up with glorious stories to share. The final side is an homage to the moments my sister and I would spend sitting on the biggest beautiful hill in the hidden springs trails. We would go there almost everyday and it eventually became a special spot for us. The background colors of my design are the Moreno Valley colors that I know so well from years of wearing the soccer uniform representing our city.
I am grateful for this opportunity and for your consideration thus far.
