Rotten Apples

This five-story mural by Spanish street artist Aryz depicts a farm girl holding a large basket of apples on an apartment building at Polk and Eddy in San Francisco’s Tenderloin. Painted in muted tones, the work softens the corner’s visual atmosphere and invites discovery rather than spectacle. Created in 2013, the piece marked Aryz’s first street mural in California, extending his international practice into the city’s dense urban fabric.
