Two soccer players drift into orbit, chasing a ball toward a passing satellite. Below them, the Rose Bowl shrinks into the distance. The East Los Streetscapers (artists David Botello and Wayne Healy) created this dynamic image in 1994 to capture the global excitement of the World Cup when Los Angeles first hosted the games. The mural was previously exhibited at the Burbank Airport.
