Stronger Together

Stronger Together is inspired by the true-to-life story of three generations of owner-operators at Stanton’s City Bites. Central figures in the mural are Samantha and Jonathan Fong, family siblings who are carrying on the legacy of the enterprising generations before them. In Vivienne’s sketch, Jonathan and Samantha are depicted leaning on each other in partnership, with garments that allude to the memories of Stanton’s past — notice a logo for Stanton’s Super MKT. A starry sky sets the scene in the middle of our Space City and is complemented by peonies, which are representative of romance, prosperity, a happy marriage, honor, and compassion — all values which the family, and the artist, hold Dear.
