Streetartwall. A huge mural of a young woman surrounded by the sea and the sun was sprayed/painted on the outside wall of a modern six-storey building. The woman with long black hair wears green clothes, has her eyes closed and her head tilted back. She is standing in the water. A dark orange sun can be seen above her, surrounded by a mosaic-like blue wave. The green water is also raging beneath the young woman. In the photo, the real sea can be seen behind canyons of houses. Info: On closer inspection, the portrait also reveals a darker side. The colorful and eye-catching mosaic elements are actually microplastics and environmental pollution. The strong female figure rising triumphantly above the chaos is meant to symbolize a way forward and hope.
