“Many thanks and lots of love to the whole team, all the participating Artists and especially to Louis Masai!
He told me about his idea for this project a few years ago and the vision became reality. Go check his account! An important and very personal project on which many people have worked with passion.
When you look at my mural what do you see at first glance. The house, the mountains, the rubbish, a landscape or something else? We often pass by looking at the details. Sometimes you only see what you want to see. Rise Up Residency has collected over 968 rubbish bags and rubbish on Margate Beach since the beginning of 2020 so far. That’s 4.8 tons. When laid out, these garbage bags would cover an area of 242 m2. Whole mountains of rubbish are piling up without us noticing. My mural “Selfmade” deals with the topic of how one visually perceives an image, whether one deals with it for a long time or is only looking for a short answer.”
