SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- The state is turning to artists across California to share the message of stopping the spread of COVID-19.
A total of 12 original works of art are on display throughout the state, including one right her in San Diego. Just east of the I-5 in Barrio Logan sits a 35 by 45 foot mural of a woman painted on the back side of the Bread and Salt art gallery.
It's all part of a campaign called 'Your Actions Save Lives.'
Updated 58 mins ago NBC 7's Omari Fleming spoke to the artist about the message behind the mural.
The brightly colored mural on the Bread and Salt art gallery in Logan Heights paints the picture of a woman's face.
“It’s a shroud of flowers because flowers are usually given as an act of caring or love to others," explained Tatiana Oritz Rubio, the artist who painted the mural.
She explained how covering the woman's face with cempasuchil, or Mexican marigolds, is both a sign of respect to the dead and living.

“I chose to focus on the act of covering ourselves as an act of love to others. Because I kept thinking through the pandemic, this action wasn’t just to protect ourselves, but anyone we indirectly come in contact with," Ortiz Rubio said. “I’m using flowers called cempasuchil. We use them in Mexico for Day of the Dead, mostly, to honor those we’ve lost.”
