Welcome to the Tiny Room for Elephants Festival Audio Tour, presented by Love and Grit, a podcast from Visit Philadelphia that explores the authentic and diverse stories of the city.
The work you are viewing is by artist Joshua Ruggeri, aka J Ruggs.
This work is a depiction of a woman in a 60's/70s era spacesuit. The artist loves the aesthetic of her rising above the viewer, even up to the cosmos of the mind and being a positive force to those who view her.
When asked, what does the phrase “made with love, inspired by grit” mean to your creative process, the artist responded: “To work harder than I did yesterday to achieve more love and more life. To be amongst fellow creatives in an environment that harnesses and respects creativity, unity and love in the city of Philadelphia”
