Spirals as eyes?

    I don't like many of the murals in the Mission specifically, but I like them in general.

      And more. Still not sure about the the origins of "Eyes..."

      ABOUT PRECITA EYES

      Q: "What does Precita Mean?"
      A: This frequently asked question has two answers. Usually when people ask this, they really mean, "Why are you called Precita Eyes?" We are called Precita Eyes because our original base is on Precita Ave, our classroom studio is at Precita Park, and that neighborhood is known as Precita Valley. Because we are community muralists, we take our name from our neighborhood and our community.

      Literally, "precita" is the diminutive form of the Spanish word "presa", which means "dam".Thus "precita" means "little dam", and refers to a small dam that once crossed Mission Creek, which now flows underground, approximately where Precita Park is now located.
