Artwork description

Produced by MU and designed by Doras, this mural contributes to the revitalization of the Lionel-Groulx-Atwater district. C r u x deals with social justice; a theme that resonates with the highly diversified social context of the neighborhood. The mural depicts a dreamlike environment in which characters help each other face and overcome important obstacles, lifting each other up, emphasizing the importance of empathy and community at the heart of any social issue. The composition and scale of the work make it almost physically accessible to passers-by.
