Zosen, a mural for peace and freedom in Israel

Zosen, an Argentinean street artist, has decided to paint a wall for peace, for a future without borders, without prejudice, without paranoia, only with freedom and love.
The work was made in Jerusalem, in Israel, precisely in a public market in the industrial district of Talpiot.
Despite their colorful and playful aesthetics, Zosen’s works are known to speak out against social injustice in the world and beyond.
The multicolored, two-dimensional characters, though meaningless at first glance, criticize the corruption of today’s society.

It was a great challenge for him and an enormous responsibility to paint his first mural in Jerusalem with all the ideas and prejudices existing in Israel.
Before he started talking to the locals, he discovered that the younger generation is tired of these problems.
For example, in Jerusalem they have their own stone to build their houses, by law they can only use this white/cream stone and it is not possible to paint on it, so he decided to paint only on concrete.
During the time he was there, the government was organizing the third election for prime minister in a year because nobody on the political scene seems to represent the interests of all the citizens living in Israel today.

With a few lines on his social media, Zosen explained why he decided to take this very job.
“It’s time to think global, our home is the earth and we must share with others, not be selfish, remember history so as not to repeat the same mistakes. One world, one love!
