My mural on the corner of Church Lane and High Street is inspired by the businesses int the immediate area.

The circle forms represent sun and moon, the sun rising and setting at the beginning and end of the day and the moon illuminating the night sky. The colour palette evokes sunrise and sunset, and the glamour of the local nightlife.

The local businesses include cafes serving food from morning until night, bars where people socialise until the early hours, as well as barbers, hairdressers, nail bars, piercing studios and tattooists for the image-conscious crowds that inhabit the area.

The mural aims to add to the identity of the area as somewhere where people go to socialise as well as enhance their own image.
