A new mural created by Italian artist Millo, titled “Essential”, is a powerful visual representation of the importance of water in our lives and sheds light on Jordan’s dire water crisis.
Commissioned by the non-profit organisation BALADK Street & Urban Art Festival, the mural is part of a larger project that aims to transform the walls of Amman into open-air murals that focus on specific themes every year. This year’s theme was the water crisis in Jordan, which is expected to worsen due to climate change, population growth, and other factors. The report “Jordan’s Water Crisis Should Be a Warning for the World” can be found here.
Millo’s mural depicts a man lying on his back in an open, alive terrarium surrounded by plants and trees. The man’s outstretched hand is reaching for a water droplet, representing water’s importance for life. The contrast between the city and the man in the terrarium is striking, and it serves as a reminder of the need to protect our planet’s natural resources.
The mural was painted on the facade of a school in a suburban area of Amman, where many of the inhabitants are Palestinians living in critical conditions. Millo hopes the mural will spark a debate about the water crisis and raise awareness about preserving our planet’s natural resources. Jordan’s water crisis is a warning for the world, and Millo’s mural is a powerful reminder of the need to take action. Without water, there is no life; we must do everything possible to protect this precious resource.
The mural is a testament to the power of art to inspire change and bring attention to important issues. By using his talents as an artist, Millo has created a beautiful and thought-provoking piece that will hopefully inspire others to take action and help protect our planet’s natural resources.
Millo’s new mural “Essential” is a powerful reminder of the importance of water in our lives and the need to take action to protect this precious resource. It’s a beautiful piece of art that inspires change and raises awareness about the water crisis in Jordan and beyond.
