His mural captures the geometric complexity of his text-inspired work, done mostly as freehanded freestyles with clean angles and curves that are saturated by a complimenting colour palette. He explains that his colour palette is readable and reminiscent of the ones we were given as children, when we had almost no responsibilities and life was much simpler.
