When artist Javier Pretelin Sanchez created a mural in downtown Elgin, he wanted it to be “aesthetically pleasing” but also to say something, “kind of like a storyboard” with a message of hope, personal growth and fulfillment.
“On the left side, it starts out as a little village,” says Sanchez, who’s gone by Azuna for his artwork ever since he was younger and got involved in graffiti art.
