Visiting Bristol for the first time since the See No Evil festival 10 years ago. Kashink’s colourful mural is a kind of outpouring of joy. “It was the first time, I was painting abroad since the pandemic” she told Inspiring City. “I used to travel a lot before and it’s so nice to do it again, it brings me a lot of joy”. Her mural reflects this feeling as whilst painting it Kashink was reflecting on those shared pandemic experiences. “I wrote a text that is a positive message because the past years brought a lot of anxiety to us all”.

The piece also has a little easter egg. Not quite visible from the street you can only see it if you go into the nearby alley. Wanting the viewer to “take the time to read something that would help focus on something positive”. Creating what Kashink describes as a “kind of suspended moment, an interactive painting
