This mural's purpose is to advocate on access to clean air for all. And, it comes in support of the @unitednations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11.6, with the objective of making cities more inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
Every year, 6.7 million people die due to exposure to pollution globally, according to @unep and, in the US, it disproportionately affects communities of color and low income.
This 5,000 square feet mural features a young girl wearing a scarf to protect herself from pollution, represented here by clouds. She is an activist, defending herself against this hostile environment by making a bond with nature in the hope of a brighter future for all. The flowers on her scarf are a reference to native flowers that grow wild in Houston when nature is free and the air not polluted.
