Popsilos Mural - Kruk by Omen - Theme: Diversity
OMEN chose to illustrate diversity through a representation of the ecosystem that has been created throughout the years: over 27 000 trees have been planted! This has fostered an ecosystem of its own that many birds (and other animals) call home, namely the raven. The leaves behind the raven are those of different trees on the property: elm, maple and oak. It takes trees of all sorts to create this healthy ecosystem, where crops thrive organically. There's a parallel to be drawn between what’s possible when you create a healthy environmental ecosystem and how Canadians strive to shape their country to foster diversity, where people live harmoniously.
Kruk means raven in Polish and Omen chose to name his work Kruk as it is significant to him, son of Polish immigrants. He also has a personal attachment to ravens.
