THE MISSION
For 713 Day, UXD partnered with Downtown Houston+ and local artist David Maldonado to create "(HUE)STON HARMONY," an innovative 8x8 foot selfie backdrop that exemplifies the intersection of art, community, and sustainability. Utilizing Graphenstone's carbon absorbing coatings, this vibrant installation not only celebrated Houston's multicultural heritage but also actively contributed to the city's clean energy goals by absorbing CO₂.

THE IMPACT
This project demonstrates how cities can transform urban landscapes into both cultural celebrations and active contributors to cleaner air, setting the tone for future eco-friendly art initiatives.
