"With this wall, I wanted to pay homage to education, school, women and freedom. But above all to this heroine that's @malala, an example for me!" @jodibona

"I start by painting the wall entirely with aerosol with very colorful geometric shapes influenced by Graffiti, tag and lettering, which I started with in 1988. I then add some very basic stencils of weaving directly borrowed from Pop Art and Roy Lichtenstein in particular (dots, circles and lines). Then, I come to hide a few large advertising posters in color, and to finish a very large visual printed in black and white which I stick above all. Then I tear and scrape the successive layers of paper with a sharp tool to return to the starting point (the colored graph), and especially to give the illusion that the wall has lived. “ - https://www.entreleslignes.be/le-cercle/richard-tassart/la-marianne-de-jo-di-bona excellent article with quite a bit of background by @richardtassart.
