On Tuesday, those who survived the shooting returned to a different building for a new academic year. But those who did not survive it still live on the town’s walls.
Every detailed mattered, Ochoa told The Washington Post. Her hazel eyes must be the exact shade — one that hardly any camera could capture right — her mother told Ochoa. The golden retriever, her chicken, horse, and the rest of the animals that lived with the girl in her family’s ranch must be included. The handwriting of a note the girl had left her mother must be accurately reproduced.But those who did not survive the May 24 rampage still live on the town’s walls.
But before any painting could start, the victims’ families, who Ortiz said were not to be contacted until the last funeral, must give their consent. Once every victim was formally mourned, Monica Maldonado, the founder of MAS Cultura, a nonprofit based in Austin and the project manager, reached out to the families to get to know the victims before pairing them up with an artist.
Once Maldonado reached out to Ochoa to pair her with Makenna, the artist started sketching the mural’s design. Her portrait would be the focal point of the canvas. Because Makenna lived in a ranch with her family, Ochoa wanted to create a more traditional design, she told The Post. The bluebonnets under the trees were the girl’s favorite flowers. The river with rocks with small specks of paint to the right of the girl represents one of her favorite hobbies, painting rocks. Eastern tiger swallowtail butterflies fly on top of her portrait.
