I created a mural for the dining room of Jörlanda Primary School, inspired by the future of food production from the sea. The vision was to create a visually striking and cohesive work of art that would appeal to all the senses and to people of all ages and backgrounds. The mural consists of hand-painted panels that form a large, dynamic image that reflects the connection of the sea to the local area and the global concern for the health of the oceans. I aim for the artwork to be both playful and mysterious, enveloping the viewer in the magical power of the sea.
