Forge Your Path

By Katy Casper | Harlan St. at W. Colfax Ave.

This ground game mural is located next to a car dealership. Cars are mostly made of metal, which is a material that is forged into shape. Extremely hot, glowing, orange metal is reminiscent of hot lava. Many kids like to pretend that the ground is hot lava and jump along raised objects while trying not to touch the ground. This ground game invites ArtLine walkers of all ages to jump back in time and hop along the pieces of sidewalk that have seemingly not been melted away by the lava. For those seeking an added challenge, they can try to make out the inspirational, secret lava message in English and Spanish: FORGE YOUR PATH! and FORJA TU CAMINO!
