Living portraits in Moss: Mural at Hazel and Azure turns heads!

Creating a women’s portrait mural made from natural moss in the lobby of a residential building is an inspired blend of art and nature. The art infuses the space with a deep sense of beauty, vitality, and symbolism. The choice of moss, with its soft textures and earthy hues, adds a living, breathing element to the mural. It creates a visual and sensory experience that captivates residents and visitors alike.

This collaboration between award winning Interior Design group One Line Design and The Color Dreamers is definitely one of a kind. The moss mural embraces the beauty of portraiture in a natural form.

The depiction of a woman in this moss mural carries a poetic resonance, celebrating feminine strength, grace, and the nurturing essence of nature. Moss, known for its resilience and ability to thrive in even the most challenging environments. By using organic material to create this portrait, The Color Dreamers is not only highlighting the aesthetic beauty of the female form but also the deeper connection between women and the natural world.

The mural would change with time, as the moss grows and evolves, reflecting the dynamic nature of life. This natural element lends a calming presence to the building’s lobby, encouraging a connection to the outdoors even in an urban setting. The living portrait can soften the modern, often harsh lines of architecture, bringing warmth and tranquility to the shared space.

Beyond its physical beauty, the moss mural invites reflection. Its natural hues and textures contrast the bustling energy of city life, offering a moment of pause, contemplation, and admiration for the subtle artistry of nature. In a residential building, this mural would not only be a stunning visual centerpiece but also a daily reminder of growth, renewal, and the deep-rooted power of femininity in harmony with the earth.

The benefits of using moss for artwork are:

Color Dreamers travel to Arlington for Moss Mural installation

Moss mural in Arlington, Virginia in the Hazel and Azure lobby

We are excited to begin our new project in collaboration with One Line Design at Hazel and Azure apartments in Arlington. This particular mural is a very unique. For example, the use of new materials such as preserved moss give a more sculptural quality to the artwork. The mural is a tribute to the beautiful and diverse women of our communities.

Set to start mid-July here is a sneak peak at the design. The moss mural will take a couple of weeks to install. The beauty and elegance of adding art to spaces remains unparallel to any amenities features. The work is truly dynamic inviting residents to take a closer look at the organic artwork. This lobby mural will leave a lasting impression.

It is an honor to take part in creating innovative artworks. Generally, our process involves significant feedback from our clients until we reach a masterpiece that is truly loved. This particular development by Zom Living incorporates art and beauty into residential spaces.

Azure National Landing is a unique pair of upscale high-rise towers in Arlington, Virginia, which will be joined by a thoughtfully landscaped open-air plaza. The 15-story, Hazel hosts 302 residences, and the 11-story Azure contains 189 slightly larger units featuring elevated finishes. Unit offerings include studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans, as well as townhome-style living – all boasting chef-inspired kitchens, floor-to-ceiling windows with roller shades, wide plank flooring, and private balconies or terraces. Select units offer expansive views of the DC skyline.

Follow us on this journey as we travel to many cities adding interactive art to each project.
