“We are flooded with incredible amounts of information on a daily basis, especially negative ones. Because properly dealing with all these emotions would take incredibly long time, we eventually numb ourselves as a way to cope. A lot of us are told to toughen up, be less sensitive, to become harder.
Essentially the mural is about transforming the relationship with our emotions and apathy in an optimistic way, that also changes dealing with our environment in all its forms.
Despite being soothing at first glance, it is also a call to action: to stay soft, to be outraged, to form alliances, to organise, to connect, to not do the people in power the favour of stopping to care. But we also need to look out for one another in terms of being nice, to not judge prematurely, to try and understand the other perspective. Being nice is cool!”
