COVID-19 Memorial Mural

Kelsey Montague · 2021

Clinch Avenue Viaduct underpassWorld's Fair Park

Every bird on the wall stands for one person Knoxville lost. Stand at the left edge and you appear to be releasing the flock — the piece is part of Montague’s #WhatLiftsYou series, which began with her 2014 New York mural.

“Each bird is unique and will represent a person lost to this pandemic. The act of releasing the birds across the wall, I hope, is cathartic to the residents of Knoxville.”
— Kelsey Montague
