“In Ukkadam, Jofre Oliveras’s latest mural harnesses the symbolism of water to explore community identity and renewal. Featuring figures collectively immersed, the piece reflects on water not just as a cleansing force, but as a reflective surface that invites introspection and communal healing. This act of purification, depicted against a backdrop of communicative yellow, symbolises the dissolution of old barriers and the fluid emergence of new connections.
As onlookers interact with the mural, they are encouraged to consider the ways in which such traditional practices remain integral to communal identity and resilience. Oliveras’s work thus serves as a starting point for discourse on the intertwining of cultural heritage and modern community dynamics.”
