SAN Projects produced two large murals facing each other between buildings 10 and 11 in the Dubai Design District. Shepard Fairey was invited to execute the murals as part of his solo exhibition Future Mosaic , 2021 in Opera Gallery, Dubai.
The two artworks, Rise Above Peace Fingers and Rise Above Dove , derive their motifs from the exhibition, conveying universal messages of peace, justice, tolerance and co-existence. The murals were created using the artist’s signature style, painted in bright tones of red, blue and yellow in contrast with black and white.
