Ambitions

The first Prague and at the time the largest mural of the Israeli duo, created in October 2016 during their artistic residency organized by Petrohradská kolektiv and Jedna Dva Tři Gallery. The title directly refers to Nitzan’s dream of becoming a wise and acclaimed writer, which is also represented by the publishing house located in the very building. A poem written back in Tel Aviv about worries, love, and sacrifice beautifully merges with Dede’s metaphorical illustration about migration. Originally inspired by workshops and construction sites in the poor districts of Tel Aviv, the wooden animals, ready to move in search of better conditions, here in Prague blend in with the local surroundings, such as distinctive windows, Žižkov tenement houses, and a cathedral bell.
