Houston: Layers of Time
36" x 36" | Mixed Media on Panel
Houston is a city constantly reinventing itself—layered with history, ambition, resilience, and growth. Houston: Layers of Time captures that evolution through a rich collage of historic photographs, architectural imagery, and expressive paint, weaving together past and present into a single vibrant skyline.
The monochromatic background reveals fragments of Houston’s story: vintage streetscapes, forgotten buildings, and moments preserved in time. Rising from those layers is the modern city—painted in luminous blues, fiery oranges, and deep jewel tones that reflect the energy and optimism of today’s skyline. The lush green canopy below serves as a reminder that nature continues to thrive alongside steel, glass, and concrete.
Anchored by the iconic "We ❤️ Houston" message, this piece celebrates the city’s unique identity and the countless stories embedded within its landscape. Every torn edge, collage element, and textured brushstroke contributes to a visual narrative about memory, transformation, and place.
Created with Lauren Luna’s signature mixed-media approach, Houston: Layers of Time invites viewers to look beyond the skyline and discover the generations of history that continue to shape the city we know today.
