Artist Kyle Holbrook is the first American to paint murals on the separation wall in Israel/Palestine.

In the face of recent tragic events in Israel and everywhere, I stand firm in denouncing terrorism, hatred, and any form of discrimination. As the executive artist of the MLK Mural Project, I firmly believe in unity, understanding, and peace. We must reject division, racism, and antisemitism and work together to build a world where every individual, regardless of their race, religion, or nationality, can coexist in harmony. Let us strive for love and acceptance, not only in our art but in our hearts, fostering a global community bound by respect, empathy, and compassion."
