What is home? Mural on the housing crisis in Ireland
By Vidar
Street Artist Asbestos
By Asbestos for Ardú Street Art Project in Cork, Ireland.
Asbestos: The piece is me asking ‘What is home?’. Do you have one, is it safe, can you afford it? Never as a country has our sense of what home means been more at threat. I painted this figure wearing a cardboard box on his head to start a conversation with the public about what home means to them. As a country we are currently in an existential crisis over housing.
