Since moving to Central New York, learning about Syracuse's architecture and history has become a priority of mine. I love seeing the growth and revitalization that's happening in the city and am optimistic for the future.
I think that this haiku perfectly describes the growth path that Syracuse is on. I wanted the illustration to capture optimism for the future while paying tribute to the architecture and history that makes Syracuse unique.
The old cicada
shells of factories lay strewn
with bright new flowers
