Capax Infiniti,[1] or Capax Infiniti (Holding the Infinite),[2] is a 2014 mural by South African artist Faith47, painted on the side of the Carlyle Building, located at 1114 Southwest Washington Street, in downtown Portland, Oregon, in the United States.
Description
[edit | edit source]
The mural depicts a slightly disheveled woman looking away from the viewer, and wringing her hands behind her back.[3] The artist said of the work that "I want it to look like it’s been there for a long time. I enjoy working with things that are slightly ghostly. It’s like existing in two spaces at once."[4]
History
