Alison Saar's "Flourish" is a story of displacement and inclusion; a narrative of seeded with the adversity that migrants and refugees often experience upon arrival. The work is also a portrait of perseverance and resilience - about the future, the flourishing of a new life, and the soil. Rooted in possibility, Saar intends the work to be a beacon that welcomes new travelers to San Francisco and will also serve as a reminder of the common immigrant roots, the riches that thrives from diversity, as well as, from our collective experience. See “Flourish” by Alison Saar on display, in the pre-security connector between Terminal 2 and Terminal 3. https://www.sfomuseum.org/public-art/public-collection/flourish

Interior design advice from the 19th century that holds up today: influential architect and furniture designer Charles Locke Eastlake encouraged a threefold division of walls in 1867, explaining to his readers that: “Paperhangings should in no case be allowed to cover the whole space of a wall from skirting to ceiling….The most dreary method of decorating the wall of a sitting-room is to cover it all over with an unrelieved pattern of monotonous design.” Fashionable Aesthetic Movement interiors displayed a dado, which covered the lower part of the wall and provided an alternative to wood paneling.
