 While infrastructural development in the nearby areas can be mapped clearly, it remains distributed unevenly: the regions adjacent to the creek reveal a stark lack of basic infrastructure and environmental management.

Their work was to not only raise awareness of ensuring water bodies are clean and healthy, but also to reinstate the visual and social identity of the area-long stigmatized as an economically marginal and "dirty" space. The growing pollution of Limas Creek raised a collective awareness among the local residents and artists about the urgent need for environmental consciousness among the surrounding communities.
