Two Homes
What happens when a wall reminds us our body and planet are both worth protecting?
It stops people, just for a moment. The wall doesn't shout or accuse. It simply offers a quiet truth, the kind that's easy to overlook in the chaos of everday life and the messes we leave behind.
The message is simple: Walk the extra few steps to the trash can instead of tossing the wrapper on the ground. Take the train next time you head to the city. Flick your cigarette into the tray, not onto the streat – or, even better, don't smoke at all.
But the wall doesn't tell you what to do, it gently reminds you why it matters. That leaving a mess behind isn't just about litter. It's about care. About respect. About showing up for the places we live in, both inside and out. Because our two homes are worth protecting.

The Wall as Witness
How does exposing injustice in public space reshape what we accept in silence?
Some trues unfortunately live in the background. Quiet, uncomfortable, and convienently ignored. Until a wall says them out loud.
When injustice is written in bold, in daylight, in the middle of where life moves, it becomes harder to unsee. Harder to pretend it's someone elses problem. A message on a wall doesn't just speak: it listens, too. It absorbs glances, reactions, resistance, and recognition. And it stands firm when people look away.
The wall becomes a witness. To inequality. To exclusion. To silence. And suddenly, what was tolerated becomes questioned. What was unseen becomes undeniable. Because when truth is public, so is responsibility.

Root Cause
How can we expect to solve anything if we never question where the problem really begins?
The wall doesn't offer a solution. It asks a better question. What if we've been trying to fix the wrong things all along?
We're always quick to patch the symptoms. Another rule, another law, another fine. But what if we paused to ask: what conditions created the problems in the first place? What's broken beneath the surface?
The message doesn't point fingers. It holds a mirror. And sometimes, that's what we need most: to look deeper before we act. Because without understanding the root, every fix stays shallow.
