2. The Fabulous Tale of Being Different — Case Maclaim in Madrid, Spain
A young person in a wheelchair sits with confidence, dressed in bright reds and golds. More about it!: The Fabulous Tale Of Being Different (by Case Maclaim in Madrid)
Case Maclaim: I believe the actual beauty of fairy tales is that it is up to our imagination how the character looks and moves and that version is not really up to debate, as it is just like a fingerprint, very unique and personal. With this mural in the old, historical city center of Madrid I wanted to try a different approach. So I gave the viewer a new character of a yet unknown fairy tale. I have high hopes that it will encourage specially the young audience to come up with their very own story, in which the lead is a confident, black child in a golden wheelchair and in a self-made mermaid costume.
