“This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful: in a word, more alive.”

— Alice Waters, chef and restaurateur

“A, B, C, D/ Can I bring my friend to tea?/ E, F, G, H, I, J/ I love you.../ All together now”

— The Beatles, All Together Now

Warm, bright, and optimistic, the fresco is full of effusive theatrical energy. The piece sings of the POHA House brand and creates a distinctive place narrative. It inspired by gathering together, songs and synergy, collective storytelling, shared movements, shapes unfolding, and music playing. A fitting welcome to residents and a burst of joyous energy to passers-by.
