Asherah Bouquet

Asherah is the mother goddess of the Canaanite pantheon, but this mural depicts Chicago-native Sarah Ratissi draped in flowers plucked from a realm between the city's natural ecosystem and the collective's half-forgotten dreams. When Caesar and his friends were coming up in Chicago's creative scene, Estelle's was a favorite haunt of the old nightlife stomping grounds in Wicker Park. Ashera Bouquet marks the latest installment of an ongoing series in Caesar's mural practice where he depicts women he admires as idols inspired by cross-cultural goddesses. This offering to both the local community and precious memories now blooms a full four stories tall, welcoming revelers on train and foot with a friendly gaze and the Car Prz signature, eye-catching electric color palette. This mural was sponsored and funded by Wicker Park Bucktown Special Service Area #33.
