Set in the heart of the desert, Think Before You Strike is a private commission painted on the side of a raw concrete structure. The mural features a rattlesnake coiled inside what appears to be a massive hole in the wall, as if the snake has made a home inside. In the stillness of the desert, where danger can strike without warning, the mural becomes a reflection on instinct, patience, and respect. The piece uses natural textures and shadow play to emphasize realism, making it a striking and memorable feature in an otherwise barren landscape. It’s both a warning and a tribute to the untamed spirit of the high desert.
