About the Mural

This mural sprouted in Iloilo City, Philippines. Using the concept of “kintsugi” or golden repair to highlight the yearning for ecological healing, it depicts nourishment, enrichment, and sustenance through the growth and reach of a seed.

It responds to the poem “When Will We Tire of Waiting” by Yewande Omotoso from South Africa.

The mural was created by Artivism Iloilo, a collective of artists, social innovators, and unconventional movers working to bring engaging collaborative art to the heart of communities and unlikely locations. Contributing muralists are Marrz Capanang, Rey Gico, Sasha Cabais, Zak Bravo, and Stevenson Cordova.

It is located at the Marymart Center-Maryville in Delgado Street, Iloilo City.
