I visited Cyprus once again for the Street Life festival, taking place each year in May. For this occasion, I decided to raise the issue of plastic in the ocean, a worldwide disaster. My mural shows a mermaid swimming while surrounded by plastic bottles and bags. The fairy tale is over!

I also headed back to Petrofani, an abandoned Turk village near the UN buffer zone. I painted a little boy hiding his face in his hands and crawling into a ball, in the corner of a destroyed house.
