The artist duo explain how the female figure portrayed in the mural embraces and harmonises with the flora that surrounds her, reminding us of the care and acceptance necessary for nature’s expansion and flourishing. By allowing space for nature to grow, we can support the life that relies upon it and foster mutual growth and survival.

The existence of humankind is woven into an interdependent ecosystem with flora and fauna, and maintaining a delicate equilibrium among all living beings is essential for our mutual survival. The significance of seemingly modest elements like meadows often goes unnoticed within our biodiversity, but they play a critical role in supporting the wider ecosystem.

SNIK’s mural draws inspiration from Hereford’s wildflower meadows, which date back to the 1850s. By planting a wildflower garden beside the mural, SNIK aims to connect the city centre with the surrounding nature, highlighting the importance of preserving these sacred spaces in a time of decline.
