Description: When Kaiman asked local youth about their local and global concerns, they wanted a mural focused on improved mental health and the importance of preserving our natural environment.
The process began with guided two illustrations and design workshops. Over the course of a week, Kaiman completed the mural with assistance of budding artists from the Margaret River Youth Advisory Council Committee.
The mural encourages young people to connect with nature daily to support their mental wellbeing, and the flowers represent the native Flannel Flower, Australia’s national symbol to promote mental health awareness.

“I’ve created this piece with our community and mind represented by the crystal, which is blossoming into flowers. It can be interpreted that one’s thoughts are beautiful, or in a more literal sense of a positive impact on the environment. However, I encourage viewers to look for what it means to them.” – Kaiman.
