Maya Attoun
Maya Attoun's mural is drawn with colored pencils on a support composed of wooden planks, and features two wolf women. The climbing plant that seems to be sprouting out of one of their bodies is revealed to be a tangle of blood vessels spilling out of the body's interior and reaching up to the ceiling. This surreal drawing represents amultifaceted lifecycle: an infinite, tangled natural world that connects between interior and exterior and between woman and animal, and which is imbued with both an emotional charge and a humoristic dimension.
