About the Project
Fables of FortuneĀ is about problem gambling, particularly within Asian immigrant communities. The mural shows stories of real people, the cultural aspects of luck and gambling, the challenges problem gamblers face, and the arrival of local casinos and gambling practices that target immigrant communities. The mural shows a path to recognition of gambling addiction, and the decision to overcome problem gambling. It is a message of hope, recovery, and restored relationships.
