The colours in the upper part of the mural are designed to draw the observer towards the wall, where they are confronted by a fragment of Szymborska’s poetry, a line from the poem “Under One Small Star” – “Truth, please don’t pay me much attention./ Dignity, please be magnanimous.”

We’re hoping that one day Dem will relieve the heroine of her suspense and paint a happy ending.

At first glance, a cheerful mural and one pleasant to look at, but it has hidden depths when we pay closer attention to detail. This is artist 2501’s last such colourful wall. Shortly after completing the mural in Zaspa, the artist changed his style altogether, working from then on exclusively in monochrome lines.
