School murals are always a deeply meaningful endeavor, and this project was no exception. To kick off the creative journey, I engaged with the students to understand their vision for the mural, which centered around the theme of "Racism & Cultural Diversity." During this initial phase, we brainstormed ideas and identified symbols that resonated with the theme. Among the recurring elements were globes, flags, hands, animals, and flowers. Drawing from these inspirations, I crafted a unique design that harmoniously combined these elements into a cohesive masterpiece.

After meticulously refining the design through several high-quality mockups and revisions, we arrived at the final artwork, which would adorn a 15-meter-long wall. To elevate the experience, I organized a painting session with the students, allowing them to contribute to the creation of the mural. Once the base coats were completed, I added depth, texture, and intricate linework using spray paint, adding the finishing touches to this nice collaborative masterpiece!
