“Connected Through Time” is a mural at Hood Park in Charlestown, MA, commissioned by HP Hood to celebrate its 175th anniversary. The concept highlights Hood’s values and history of innovation, quality, and sustainability. The mural encompasses three walls filled with color, graphical elements, and shapes that create a sense of movement and visual connection. The focal point depicts two women embracing in celebration of moving forward. It’s personal and joyful, welcoming everyone to the neighborhood. The number 175 also takes a prominent graphic role and overlaps with a vintage glass bottle, paying homage to this year’s celebration of Hood’s commitment to its community.
