Pacha Mama Mural

West Virginia Street Mural in San Jose

I really like looking at this mural and taking it in. It is beautiful art by Carlos Rodriguez (https://www.carlosrodriguezart.com/).

“The mural, “Pacha Mama,” depicts the Incan mother earth deity in a market scene surrounded by melons, grapes and avocados.” (https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/02/20/two-alarm-fire-engulfs-san-jose-grocery-store-leaves-eight-residents-displaced/)

Sadly, the grocery store that hosts this mural recently experienced a fire. Thankfully, no one was hurt including the occupants of the apartments above the grocery store. Hopefully the mural will be saved during the repairs.

Here are some other views of the building and beautiful murals despite the fire damage.
