"There are many ways of interpreting this work, and we hope that viewers will develop their own based on their sensitivity and personal background. But almost as a 'mise en abyme' (literally meaning: 'placement into abyss'), this goldfish is stuck in an environment surrounded by plastic, keeping it prisoner. The fish wants to rebel with the anarchy symbol drawn on the fog, but that will soon disappear. The use of the goldfish and its "short memory" is the perfect metaphor for humans who are aware of all the environmental issues around the world but seem to forget about them as fast as we are revolted by them and go on with our daily lives.

It's a work we have wanted to do for over a year but was considered too controversial, so having the Nuart team understand the meaning, support us, and allow us to bring it to life so it is now for the public to judge means a lot. We had the best time there, with the other artists, the team, the speakers, the volunteers and the people of Aberdeen." @murmurestreetart June 18, 2023

"In 2008 the Scottish government approved a Donald Trump golf course in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The development has been a disaster, destroying hundreds of acres of sand dunes and pristine coastland while forcing locals off their land and only delivering 98 of the 6000 jobs Trump promised to the local economy. Trump also ended up in a public battle with a number of the local farmers who refused to sell their land. Claiming that the homes were 'slum like' and they would spoil the view from his hotel he regularly cut off their water and electricity and eventually built a wall and row trees beside their homes, blocking their views. People in Aberdeen now fly Mexican flags around the golf course to protest trump and his actions.
This mural painted in the Aberdeen city center depicts three locals standing on top of a broken wall. Painted in the context of the Trump presidency, brexit and the rise of Le Pen and other far right figures in Europe this piece acts as a protest against Trumpism and those who wish to build walls and divide us." @fintan_magee April 25, 2017

"The picts were an ancient people native to Scotland in the middle ages and in many way the reason Scots still exist. The mystery surrounding them is intoxicating, the only recorded written history of their existence comes from Roman and Viking encounters. Labelled 'painted people' aka picts due to the blue pigment and tattoo work that covered their bodies, they were hardy warriors who fought off countless invasions. Pictish stone carvings are the lasting evidence of their existence by their own hand, scattered allover Monoliths across the east coast of Scotland, the markings similar to Ogham but near impossible to fully understand. They managed to master carving granite, a very tough stone to work with, but not easily weathered thus it holds their carvings to this day. They worshiped many dieties as Pagans, adopting varying gods along the way, however eventually were converted by the sweeping wave of Christian influence. It is just one example of many indigenous cultures being written out of history to this day, culturally eradicated and/ or displaced. History repeats and loops through the ages." @cbloxx_ July 16, 2024
