The mural project explores the social impact of graphic design and street art in a multicultural environment. It interacts with us altering our perception of space. Walls and streets are bridges of communication. Unconsciously, we are permanently influenced, even when trying to avoid certain messages. Understanding the power of this tool, my goal is to educate social awareness through murals. I want to communicate a critical and responsible point of view about current social issues surrounding gender inequalities, intolerance, immigration...
