What makes the item so interesting is that the painter uses natural inks, stains and dyes made from plants, leaves, barks, even fruits that he makes himself to add in creating each piece of wall art. This specific item has rose, lobelia, sweet potato vine and chocolate to name a few. There is even a special process to protect the living parts of the piece to not foil the intense color and unique staining.

Belief in the temporary hero, the person who isn't always perfect but is mostly good and tries. Though history may never mark their names and society never really hear of their deeds they are a necessary element to our populations. That is the reason this piece was made, it is for them. In a way to let them know that some people actually can see that they exist and are grateful for them.

A leading figure looks out with a face of empathy and deep understanding. The features are soft to make it feel warm, open and approachable.
