"Espíritu Del Mar" is a 40'H x 20'W mural located in Boston, MA. Its aim is to connect youth with ocean life and all living creatures. The mural depicts a young girl holding an endangered Atlantic right whale, which has been affected by climate change and fatalities due to fishing nets. The girl is looking down with empathy and connecting spiritually with the amazing creature. It was important to Marka27 that indigenous children see themselves depicted in this artwork. It is also crucial to demonstrate to our youth that we must treat our planet and all life with respect and empathy, as we are all connected and one.
