“One smile later, I am pulling off my balaclava”

.

This mural is a collaboration with the street artist Pikopaseo to « give voice » to his photos of people ith uniques stories and personalities. The « Magic Mantra » was chosen after a call with Mike, the model. As he opens up, he reveals that for him, that his tattoos are form a "balaclava" to protect himself from the outside world - but each time he smiles, it's like pulling off this painted protection. 

 

This mural is a medium that gives the opportunity to visually bring to life meaningful stories and to showcase them to the world.
