Sail Yards: an 18 meter homage

The 18 meters high wall is a tribute to the Sail Yards.

More information by the artist own words on his Instagram post August 2026

« Once the concrete slab was laid on the location where the Queen Victoria Hospital had been, the city, already a central meeting point for young people from all over greater Melbourne - saw this space gradually taken over by curious, creative minds who used it to test their limits through skateboarding and street culture. As the spot grew in popularity, with DIY ramps becoming more ambitious and inventive, the City of Melbourne stepped in - partnering with the YMCA to officially recognise the space as the Sail Yards. Though its time was short, the skate park welcomed everyone. It became a hub for international pros, local legends, and young people honing their skills. This moment of youth-led innovation and intuition became the inspiration for the mural’s concept and composition, with the hospital featured prominently as a nod to the site’s layered and meaningful past.
