LAX unveils new mural in Terminal 4 by artist Allison Kunath

Kunath's work aims to reflect movement and connectivity within the busy airport environment. Her use of familiar patterns and symbols explores human connections and emotions, offering travelers a moment for reflection. The sunburst patterns serve as metaphorical portals inviting passengers to pause and connect with their surroundings.

The mural was installed by a team led by Kunath and overseen by LAX Arts Manager Tim McGowan over two weeks. Kunath expressed her intentions for the piece: “It was an honor to collaborate with the LAX Art Program to bring this artwork to life," she said. "Inspired by the small but arresting moments that give life its texture and beauty, my hope is that viewers are momentarily transported to a place of gratitude and reflection as they pass through the space."

Known for her geometric murals and watercolor paintings, Kunath's art often explores human emotions and psychology, drawing from personal experiences while resonating universally.

This mural is part of Terminal 4 renovations aimed at enhancing LAX's mission to create a welcoming environment. It is currently on view for ticketed passengers. More information about the mural can be found at flylax.com/art-program.
