" The Ancestor Gates were designed by Artist Jenny Hale in collaboration with members of the Chapman community. The primary goal of this public art project was to involve youth in a creative activity emphasizing the importance of recycling. The multi-cultural theme grew directly from community input. Children and elders from the surrounding neighborhoods volunteered over 750 hours of time to research cultural images and create the mosaics which adorn each Ancestor Gate." (
