"Parks are a vital component of Los Angeles culture, serving as a space where all are welcome to revel in the warmth of the sun and enjoy the community of others. Here, under the same setting sun, we are all equals, bonded together by a shared sense of belonging and home. My personal story begins with MacArthur Park, as my father’s arrival in United States marked the beginning of our journey in this new land. Capturing the infectious optimism and bright hues of this glorious space, I have chosen an iconic painterly line dense style for my illustration. Radiating with a warmth and nostalgia befitting of this magical place," -- Vicky Rosas Pitti
